Mosquito and Goliath

The lowly mosquito is nature's version of David (as in David and Goliath).

The mosquito is so small as to be all but invisible, yet it can make an adult human scream uncle and run for shelter.

I believe the person who came up with the game Twister got the idea for the game after watching a friend try to fend off swarming mosquitoes.

Picture someone under mosquito attack. They swat their shoulder, swat their ankle, take a swipe at their lower back, then smack themnselves in the ear. See - just like Twister.

Heaven forbid (the David theme again) one of the little insects gains access to your house. Sleep isn't going to happen with the devil buzzing your head. The high pitched whine of an approaching mosquito strikes as much terror in the bedroom as an air raid siren does on a battlefield.
