Debate: Is the Florida State Bird a mosquito OR a flying cockroach?
Debating... What Floridians think the state bird is?
Mosquito or Cockroach? Both are about the size of a bird and both outnumber all other birds, probably combined!
So is it the mosquito or the cockroach (they can fly)?   |

During daytime it is the mosquito or the lovebug or the no-seeum if you live near marshy areas. At night it's the flying palmetto bug-cockroach.

Actually, the "State Bird" roosts along I-95 primarily and tends to be attached to peopel in the form of a middle finger.
