What is realy unusual this year in Moscow region is almost total absence of Culicidae. I do not remember summer like this during all my life!
They all seem to be here in Hungary. We are having an exceptional cold and wet summer, and there were several waves of floods in Hungary, which has increased the mosquito load to plague proportions. Up to 10% of the deer populaton has been wiped out in some areas by the mosquito swarms! The mosquito plague has changed the deer behaviour completely, and forced these otherwise shy animals out of the forests to more open agricultural land.
