We are used to having pesky mosquitoes during the summer months.

But residents in Florida are going to have to deal with a new type of bug.

It's a new "giant" mosquito.

This mosquito is 20 times the size of the ones we are used to seeing.

It feeds 24/7 and has a sting some say feels like a poke from a knife.

Experts believe the insect will invade Florida during the summer rainy season.

This mosquito targets human, animals and even fish.

However, it doesn't carry West Nile or any other serious disease.
