Mosquito distribution among each European country

Does anyone know the most prevalent Mosquito species in each European country or where I could find that info?

In Croatia and Italy I get heavy allergic reaction to mosquitoes, probably I have Skeeter syndrome. But in my home country (Portugal) I do not get such big reactions. I get a small bump but thats it. Same in Malta, either they have very little mosquitoes or I just didn't get a huge reaction.

So this makes me curious about mosquitoes species distribution among Europe because clearly I am very allergic to some species.

A 10 second google search led me to this which is probably exactly what you were looking for

Apparently Istria has all of possible mosquitoes lol So still don't know who are the fuckers that bit me.

I wanted to know the most common species. The ones that bit me, (or at least the ones that I saw and killed), had sort of white stripes in their bodies.
