A new mosquito appeared in Quebec late this fall. Tiny, 1/2 the size of our normal mosquitoes. I've never seen its kind before, and I've lived all over Canada

I've never seen its kind before, and I've lived all over Canada. And yes, it wasn't a one-off, I've seen many, and a friend commented on the same.
I imagine it is invasive. Bah.
- supertimor 3y agoProbably the Aedes aegypti. Super invasive mosquito species that are currently spreading across North America. They like to feed during the day and will bite a person several times for their blood meal. Their eggs can remain viable outside of water up to 8 months to a year and they require only a very tiny amount of water to hatch.
- b112 3y agoHmm. Thanks. I'll catch a few next year, and compare to photos.
