Scientists in Iceland have discovered the country's first mosquitoes, specifically the Culiseta annulata species, marking a significant shift as the country has long been protected from these insects by its harsh climate. The discovery raises questions about the impact of climate change on mosquito populations, though experts remain cautious about directly linking the emergence of mosquitoes in Iceland to global warming. Further monitoring will be necessary to see if these mosquitoes can survive the winter and establish themselves in the region.
