A man from Argentina shared an image of a giant mosquito that entered his house through the window. Compared to the other mosquitoes that we've regularly seen, this insect is disturbingly large. When this image was shared on Twitter, it went viral and of course, people were shocked by seeing its size. Although the user mentioned that he did not get bitten by the insect.

Twitter user Ezequiel Lobo, a resident from an Argentine city of Cordoba, posted a picture of this large insect on his feed. In the caption, he wrote, "Look at the size of the mosquito which entered my house." To give users an idea about its size, he even placed another normal mosquito next to it. In the following tweet, he mentioned that thankfully his quick-thinking mother stepped in with a bug spray and killed that insect. But adding that it is fearful, even wondering if the insect was a "new Chernobyl evolution or am I in Jumanji and didn't know it?"
