Västerbotten [2], 08/06/1732, ¶403:

On my way there I saw several big mosquitoes with large black wings jumping in the air. I had earlier taken them to be flies but now changed my mind because of this manner of flying. I received confirmation of this from the balance of the hindquarters and the whole wings. I saw the same creature on the 27th May.
