TAIPEI: A Taiwanese woman has set a world record for mosquito catchers, winning a £1,900 cash prize for killing 4 million of the insects in a month. Huang Yuyen, from Yunlin county in southern Taiwan, beat 72 rivals with a catch weighing in at more than 1.5 kilogram’s (3lbs 5oz), according to the insect trap-making company that organised the contest. The haul was more than double that of her nearest rival.
