Reasearch Poem

Bug off!



This little insect 

Doesn't deserve any respect.

It's the Asian tiger mosquito and it's a real threat

Not just to the ecosystem but also to the humans

If you want keep doing what ya doing

Do it but you'll start to regret

Because all you'll do is start to shoo.


these guys are disease carriers

Spreading it like wildfire 

Almost becomes a thing I could admire

However, it's bad, really really bad

They carry dengue and the Nile virus

Killing over 650,000 million people

It's like they despise us


Just like all things it starts small

But when it gets big that's our downfall

Container breeders are what they are

They lay their eggs but not on ponds or lakes

It's more like tires and old pots

Even water bottles and other spots

For they have developed lots of defense 

Whenever things get intense


There's lots of predators its leave has

And that's why they breed and lay in these weird places

They survive not just because of that 

But also because their eggs are drought resistant

This just makes it harder for them to be nonexistent

This helps whenever it's all bone-dry


Asian tiger mosquitoes are pests all over.
