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.

In Finland the mosquitoes sound like helicopters in formation.

All you need is the Wagner ‘ride of the Vlakyries’ soundtrack.
