Mosquitoes defecate Taj Mahal under

- The Taj Mahal, the famous monument in India, suffers from an insect pest. A mosquito species defecate constantly under the white marble. The west side of the mausoleum is covered with green spots.,, These are the feces and larvae of insects that are attracted by the bright white of the Taj Mahal, '' said Bhuvan Vikram, spokesman of the Indian Archaeological Institute.

The culprit, identified as Goeldichironomus plant is currently rampant on in the nearby Yamuna River. The bed is almost dried up and provides an ideal habitat for this species from the family of biting midges.,, We clean the dirty spots continuously away with water, but the bugs keep coming back, '' sighed Vikram.

The authorities assume that the worst suffering is over when the rainy season sets in over a month. It is unlikely that the contamination of the stone of the monument of love in the end really affects. The Taj Mahal, cultural heritage, was built in the seventeenth century and attracts more than six million visitors annually.
