Comment: 50 mosquitoes (0.2% of all specimens collected) were identified as Cx. territans , making it the least common Culex species in Estonia . Culex territans was collected from July to October. This species is likely more common than the results of this fieldwork indicate, and their very low numbers are expected to be because of collection bias.
