Be the first to know
In Iceland, the appearance of mosquitoes was recorded for the first time. This was reported by the broadcasting company RUV, noting that the insects belong to the cold-resistant species Culiseta annulata.
"On the evening of October 16, at dusk, I noticed an unusual fly. I immediately thought it was a mosquito, and I quickly caught it," said entomologist Björn Hjaltason.
Professor Matthías Álfredsson of the Icelandic Institute of Natural History confirmed that Björn discovered three mosquitoes. According to him, this species has high resistance to cold, which allows it to survive even in the harsh conditions of Iceland's climate.
