A small but note-worthy event in a warming world. The manufacturers of bug spray are busy preparing their Icelandic marketing campaigns.
>The country was until this month one of the only places in the world that did not have a mosquito population. The other is Antarctica.
>… “Three specimens of Culiseta annulata were found in Kiðafell, Kjós, two females and one male. They were all collected from wine ropes during wine roping aimed at attracting moths.”
>The species is cold-resistant and can survive Icelandic conditions by sheltering through winter in basements and barns.

News article from 1,100 years ago:

Welcome to mosquito bites Iceland.
Are these mosquitos thawed Jurassic mosquitos?
The United Galactic Federation will be thrilled!
