This guy kills humans' biggest predator by the thousand

Moab received a lot of water this year. You might assume that would make for a bad mosquito season this summer. Shanon Amsberry of the Moab Mosquito Abatement District gives us the run-down on what to expect from these bugs in the coming months. We also hear from Maggie McGuire, editor of the Moab Sun News, who gives us a summary of what happened at this week’s Moab City Council meeting.

// Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Doug McMurdo of The Times-Independent discusses a ‘bumper crop’ of fire fuels, two critical vacancies at the Grand County Attorney’s Office and the graduating class of 2023. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News talks about running ephemeral rivers, a returning exhibit about Glen Canyon and the upcoming ‘High Water’ series at the Moab Music Festival.
