Recent burns give them fresh plant to feed on.

Mosquitoes are happy:
Recently formed shallow pools form perfect breeding ground for their larvae. Even better, gambuzia (i.e., pup-sized mosquito larvae eating fish) were completed depleted from the deep drought, not to return until a deeper and more contiguous water column gives them a conduit by which to repopulate the swamp.
Until then, expect mosquitoes to multiply by the millions.

If you're out there slapping at 'em, you're probably not all that happy.

Bad news about the mosquito larva eating fish being depopulated. It's going to be an itchy year.
