Thanks Chris! :-)
Ironically, she's sitting on an outlet for our anti-mosquito misting system! We use a plant-based mix that is not toxic to other critters!
Part of the Florida based 'Mosquito Control' fleet seen parked up at Tico recently.
Apart from the L-39 Albatross NX239PW parked to the left, these appear to be O-2A's which were the military version of the 'Push me - Pull you' Cessna model 337.
The unusual layout of twin-engines - one on the nose pulling, while the other, mounted on the back of the stumpy fuselage between the twin booms was pushing had advantages with the opposing torque and during an engine failure but didn't really catch on.
Used in Vietnam by the USAF and South Vietnamese Air Force for FAC (Forward Air Control) duties they were relegated to a variety of general work before being stored at AMARC then disposed of.

N844MB : Douglas DC-3 : Collier County Mosquito Control
Painted as "N844M", but officially registered as N844MB.
At rest at its base at Naples Municipal.
There are various natural predators that can kill mosquitoes and keep them under check.
As seen here, a water strider has come forward and caught hold of a mosquito, which was perhaps flying low with view to lay eggs on water surface.
The witnesses of the kill are the couple of insects that are there on the side of this water strider.

Mosquitoes have four life stages: the egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are laid on the surface of water. Most eggs hatch within 48 hours. The larvae live in water and breathe at the surface through tubes. Larvae, or wrigglers, feed on organic debris and microorganisms in the water, then molt into pupae, a resting stage that remains in the water. During this time the mosquito develops into an adult. After two days the pupal skin splits and the adult emerges. The length of this life cycle varies by species from 4–30 days. For information on managing mosquitoes, visit hdl.handle.net/1813/43851

Spraying interior of Italian houses with 10% DDT and kerosene for malaria control. 32nd Field Hospital, Unit B Installation. 02/26/1945. World War 2. Selected by Kathleen.
This smoke at the bottom of the street is not from a fire. Rather some poor family's house is getting fumigated. Fumigation is mandatory in Cuba. Every house, apartment, office and place of work gets regularly fumigated. Official show up with ghost-busters-like machines and the the dwellings and fill it with white smoke until it's escaping through every crack.
We've had the displeasure of being guests and spending a the night in a couple of home that have recently been fumigated. The smell is unpleasant and, I suspect, not good for you. But hey, anything to fight the enemy, dengue fever, in this case.
