Terrifying second ‘mosquito twister’ sweeps by village

Residents had been left shocked after a terrifying “mosquito tornado” swept by a village in Nicaragua. The weird phenomenon was noticed in Lake Cocibolca when 1000’s of mosquitos swarmed the shore, creating an unnerving brown cloud.

Agro-meteorologist Agustín Moreira defined that this pure prevalence is widespread through the wet season.

The professional clarified that these mosquitoes have a lifespan of not less than 24 hours, which implies they pose no hurt to folks and do not have an effect on crops.

The recorded footage exhibits a large column of brown-coloured bugs at La Virgen in Rivas, as thousands and thousands of them congregated on the shores of Lake Cocibolca on a Monday morning.

The video was captured in a coastal space roughly 5 miles away from the departmental capital, Rivas, and depicts the swarm step by step approaching a populated area.

Similar phenomena have been noticed within the areas of Rivas, Río San Juan, and Ometepe Island. 

In June 2022, related photos had been recorded close to Morritos, the place a big column of black bugs had been noticed crossing the waters of Lake Cocibolca.

Last 12 months, pictures and movies of a dense black cloud, with an irregular form on the floor of Lake Cocibolca close to the municipal dock of Morrito in Río San Juan division, went viral on social media.

Local residents interviewed by Nueva Radio YA confirmed that the phenomenon was not a waterspout, however quite a dense cloud of bugs referred to as “chayules,” flying in direction of the shores of Morrito after originating from the southern shore of Lake Cocibolca.

This annual phenomenon is witnessed by the folks of Río San Juan, occurring both on the finish of May or the start of June.

The locals talked about that almost all, if not all, of the chayules died earlier than reaching the shore, falling into the waters of Lake Cocibolca and changing into a meals supply for fish.

In the previous, chayul infestations have brought about hurt to aquatic animals as a result of lack of oxygen circulation attributable to the larvae of those bugs. 

Because of this, related authorities have been monitoring the state of affairs.
