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.

I think the so called Tiger mosquito is more common in Southern Europe/Mediterranean countries. I get quite a reaction from those.
