are there mosquitoes in england

Yes, there are mosquitoes in England. The UK is home to over 30 species of mosquitoes, including England. They tend to be found mostly in wet rural areas such as rivers, lakes, salt-marshes, and damp woodlands. The most common species in England include the Culex pipiens (common house mosquito), Anopheles plumbeus, and Aedes detritus. While mosquitoes are present, the risk of serious diseases from them is much lower compared to tropical regions. However, with climate change and warmer conditions, mosquito populations and species diversity in England are becoming more prominent, and some disease- carrying species are being monitored for potential establishment. Protective measures may be needed, especially in wet environments during warmer seasons.
