Three specimens were found this month in Kjos, a rural valley area near Hvalfjordur.
The samples were handed over to the Icelandic Institute of Natural History for analysis.
The species has been identified as Culiseta annulata, a cold-tolerant mosquito common in northern Europe.
“It tends to keep itself warm over the winter in shaded places such as cellars and livestock houses.”
Scientists have long predicted that mosquitoes could eventually establish themselves in Iceland.
The discovery of mosquitoes in Iceland underscores how climate and environmental changes may be expanding the range of cold-tolerant insect species further north than ever before. – Bernama-Anadolu
