The Argentine skies looked somewhat strange as scores of mosquitoes combined to create a ‘tornado’ scene. The clip of the bizarre incident has gone viral online; It was captured by a motorist who was on Route 74 in the country, looking at the tornado that seemed to be heading towards the car.
Initially, it looked like a normal yet frightening twin that they could not escape. However, as they got closer to it, they realized that it was the mosquitoes that were causing it.
Posted on Twitter, the man who imprisoned it was heard saying, “It’s getting bigger and bigger, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

As per the News.com.au, the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires saw recent heavy rains, resulting in mosquito attacks not only in the city but also in the surrounding areas.
The report further noted that a researcher at the Centre for Parasitological and Vector Studies, named Juan Jose Garcia, said, “The flooding has stagnated due to heavy rains, where female mosquitoes lay their eggs.”
The tornado can cause significant destruction to humans and property. However, the mosquito tornado is considered harmless by Garcia, even though it looks extremely unpleasant on the face.
However, such a twister can cause a lot of problems in farms across the country as they are capable of disturbing the farmers at work and ruining all their hard work.
