It all depends on the cops to track him down. Expect plenty of nasty scenes and cool creature effects.
Mosquito (1995)
The name speaks for itself. Yes, the movie is all about mosquitoes. Some mosquitoes after feeding on the blood of dead aliens become mutated into giant mosquitoes who attack a lot of people.

Land of the Lost (2005)
The insanely comic movie is all about how scientist Rick Marshall is sucked into a world populated by dinosaurs and slow creatures Sleestaks. That one scene where Will Ferrell (Rick Marshall) sings a song playing a banjo and is bit by a really large mosquito on the neck.
