Are there mosquitoes in the Crimea
Mosquitoes - insects that live almost everywhere. The only exception is the territory of Antarctica, which is distinguished by its harsh climatic conditions. Especially great discomfort bloodsuckers deliver during outdoor recreation. Their unpleasant squeak and bites often reduced to exhaustion. Therefore, before planning a vacation on the Crimean beach, it is necessary to clarify whether there are mosquitoes in the Crimea.
Mosquito species on the peninsula
On the territory of the peninsula there are about 4 dozen blood-sucking mosquitoes. The most common are the Piskuns, and especially many of them in areas with marshy lowlands.Critical values of the number of bloodsuckers is in June and July, when the air temperature warms above 23 degrees. With the approach of cold weather, the number of bloodsuckers decreases.
On a note!
You can meet anopheles mosquitoes in the Crimea as well. Especially there are many of them in the southern part of the peninsula. Going in search of a favorable place for laying eggs, females prefer areas where there are streams, rivers or reservoirs.
Highest density larvae Anopheles is marked in the north of Crimea. These regions are distinguished by a variety of rice plantations, fisheries, water bodies and floodplain wetlands. The most common representatives of the species Anopheles are An. messeae, An. claviger and An. Atroparvus.
Places of insects
In Yalta, Sevastopol and Sudak prey on people mosquitoescausing painful marks to a person. There are these bloodsuckers in some areas of Simferopol. In the forests of the mountainous Crimea tourists “enjoy” the painful biting hollow mosquitoes.
Warm weather, an abundance of rain in early summer, which often results in the formation of damp places, as well as a decrease in the number of natural enemies of mosquito larvae (birds), contribute to the spread of blood-sicking insects.
However, there are places where there are no mosquitoes in the Crimea.They are practically absent in Evpatoria and in the Old Crimea.
