MONSTER MOSQUITO MYSTERY IN NORTH ELEUTHERA
Fisherman Catches Giant Bug Near 3 Island Dock, Sends Photo Exclusively to Lol242.com
“It bigger than a lighter and I keeping it like a trophy.”
By Lol242 Field Reporter, North Eleuthera
North Eleuthera, Bahamas, What started as a normal afternoon by the sea turned into a scene straight out of a horror movie, when a local fisherman claimed he caught the biggest mosquito anyone on the island has ever seen, and he’s got the picture to prove it.
Jeffery, from Lower Bogue, was near the 3 Island Dock checking the tide when he noticed a strange movement on the ground. What he thought was a leaf or seaweed turned out to be a massive, winged insect with long, hairy legs, and a snout like a syringe.
“At first I thought it was a lizard or bat,” Jeffery told Lol242.com. “Then I see them wings and I realize, this a mosquito, but not no mosquito I ever see in my life.”
Without wasting time, Jeffery took a side-by-side photo with a normal mosquito, just so people would believe what they were seeing. The difference? Shocking. The normal one looked like an ant next to a piece of fried chicken.
And he didn’t stop there. Jeffery didn’t throw it away, didn’t crush it, and didn’t call nobody. Instead, he dried it out, carefully placed it in a glass jar, and told us:
“This my trophy now. I ain’t giving this to no lab or government. This staying right on my dresser in a rum bottle. That’s Eleuthera history right there.”
As soon as we posted the exclusive image, the whole island, and half the Caribbean, lit up.
Overnight, the post hit 24,000 views, got featured in group chats, and was reposted across WhatsApp, TikTok, and Facebook with captions like:
“Eleuthera got Jurassic mosquitoes now!”
“That ain’t bite you, that feeding on you!”
“I sleeping under net, fan, and prayer tonight.”
Islanders from Harbour Island to Spanish Wells started chiming in, some claiming they’ve seen large bugs before, others begging for more pictures.
What exactly Jeffery caught, no one can say for sure. But one thing is clear: people believe it’s real, because we’ve seen the photo. Clear wings, strong shadow, rough concrete, nothing edited, nothing fancy.
And if that mosquito bite somebody? They’d be missing two pints of blood and maybe a limb.
“You see how big that mouth is? That ain’t a bite, that’s a transfusion,” one Eleuthera local joked.
People in the area near 3 Island Dock say they’re now keeping bug spray in their tackle boxes and watching the shadows more closely than ever.
Some said it’s a sign the bush is changing. Others think all this rain and heat the island getting lately waking up creatures we ain’t supposed to see.
“I lock my windows already. Next thing you know, they flying off with babies,” one woman laughed from The Bluff.
Jeffery, meanwhile, is soaking up the fame. He’s already printed the photo on a T-shirt that says: “I Survived the Mosquito from 3 Island Dock.”
This ain’t about science. This ain’t about experts. This is about real life in the Out Islands, where the bush deep, the dock quiet, and every now and then, something wild shows up to remind us we don’t run nothing out here but our mouth.
One man. One mosquito. One story the whole country talking about.
