Which is the only country in the world where mosquitoes are not found? This is a question that is often asked in general knowledge? The country, which is covered in snow for twelve months, was known as a country where mosquitoes are not found. But recently, mosquitoes have been seen for the first time in Iceland.
According to local media, insect enthusiast Björn Haltesson found the mosquitoes while using wine-soaked ropes while watching butterflies for a few nights last week. Haltesson found two females and one male.
The mosquitoes are of the Culiceta annulata species, the BBC reported. This species can survive the winter. Before this discovery, there was no record of mosquitoes being found in Iceland.
Similarly, mosquitoes are not found in Antarctica. The mosquitoes were found in the Kios area, a glacial valley located southwest of the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik. Haltesson shared the news of the mosquito discovery on his Facebook page with photos.
