As you can tell, "Mosquito!" was the best of the three, as it was the one I remembered best. I recall thinking it was a pretty nifty movie when I saw it in high school, and saw it a couple of times. I haven't seen it in many years, though, and wonder how it'd hold up. Anyway, as to the MotD, it was a pretty cool critter, but that dragonfly kicked ass.

I think flying giant bugs must have been harder to do. Really the major flying one was the Deadly Mantis, and it looked goofy as hell while in the air. The giant mosquito isn’t much of a spoiler.

Second, it's surely weirder that there was never a giant mosquito film during the '50s. We didn't got those until the '90s. (Although there was a mock '50s one in Popcorn, as I recall.)

But then, I've always liked giant dragonflies. I wonder why one was never embiggened during the 50's? I liked the giant dragonfly in this one (if this is the movie I think it is).

Not that they really say either way, if I recall. But yeah, his look was definitely based on those statues.
