Mosquitoes have been found in Iceland for the first time as global heating makes the country more hospitable for insects. The country was until this month one of the few places in the world that did not have a mosquito population. The other is Antarctica. Scientists have predicted for some time that mosquitoes could establish themselves in Iceland as there are plentiful breeding habitats such as marshes and ponds. Many species will be unable to survive the harsh climate, however. https://apple.news/Aq6Y1jnbtRyuZMdJQ98T6Aw
