Phone calls have been pouring in to the Kern Mosquito and Vector Control District at 10 times the rate of last year. The reason: itchy, painful insect bites, and lots of them. "We have a new, uninvited mosquito here in Kern County," district spokesman Terry Knight said at a news conference held Tuesday at the district headquarters. The name of the mosquito is Aedes aegypti, known in some areas of the world as the yellow fever mosquito. "It's an aggressive day biter as well as an evening biter," Knight said. "If it gets into your home ... the really negative impact of this mosquito is it doesn't just feed one time to take its blood meal, it usually feeds multiple times."
