Experts warned that the warm, muggy climate and standing floodwaters in the Houston area would cause the mosquito population to explode, and astounding images and videos shared on social media show exactly that.

On Monday, workers in Refugio, Texas captured cell phone image a swarm of thousands of mosquitoes that covered their legs and arms. Thankfully clad in long sleeves, long pants and mosquito nets video captured one man saying that the images "didn't do it justice."

According to Gizmodo, photos shared on the Houston subreddit showed the bugs swarming cars, making license plates unreadable.
