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.
