The horrifying moment 'tornadoes' of mosquitoes blotted out the sun in a Russian region over the weekend has been captured on video. From a distance, pictures from the region appeared to show a cluster of tornadoes swirling dust and dirt into the air. But when filmed from within the clouds, the footage showed that the tornadoes are actually made up of millions of the unwelcome insects. The video shows countless mosquitoes swarming around the vehicle, while a tornado is shown further down the road. 'These are male mosquitoes swarming around one of several females in order to mate - there is nothing wrong with this,' said entomologist Lyudmila Lobkova.
