You might be from Michigan if you know who did this song:

"Skeeter raped a chicken in a blueberry patch
Ten days later the chiquitos hatched
They grew up fast and they grew up mean
Tore a big hole in my window screen
Took a few pints from me and my mother
Then they flew away with my little brother
What's that noise comin' out of the blue
Like a squadron of B-52s
It's a pack of chiquitos and they're flyin' low
leavin' death and destruction wherever they go . . ."

And so on. Fairly accruate description of Michigan mosquitos.
