Comment: 3,951 mosquitoes (16.2% of all specimens collected) were identified as Ae. cataphylla, making it the third most common mosquito species in Estonia. This species is abundant almost everywhere in the country and can be numerous at times. As is typical for a spring-time species, Ae. cataphylla are most active in May, but some specimens can be found until September.
