"Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus" - some things just roll off the tongue. This sounds like a nice Irish 'scat'.

Oh, it was in the month of May
ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus
It was in the month of May
Aedes egypti and all
It was in the month of may,
When to the swamp I made my way
Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus, Aedes egypti and all

Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus
And I was a carefree lass
Aedes egypti and all
Oh, I was a carefree lass
'Till a big mosquito bit...
enough already (I honestly can't help it.)
