Help us record Aedes cretinus in Cyprus and create an early warning rapid response system for Aedes albopictus (the tiger mosquito)
In Cyprus, Aedes albopictus has not yet been introduced and recorded. However, we wish to catch it early if it arrives on the island. In Cyprus, we have a very similar looking species Aedes cretinus, Please help us record it and understand its life habits.
You can check what each species looks like here:
