Icelanders may be the last group of people on Earth to experience the pesky bite of a mosquito.
This week, Iceland recorded the presence of the insects within its borders for the first time in the Nordic nation's history.
The discovery of three Culiseta annulata mosquitoes was confirmed Monday by the Natural Science Institute of Iceland, which said the mosquitoes likely arrived by freight and appeared to be able to withstand Iceland's climate. (There have been previous reports of mosquitoes found in airplanes in Iceland.)
The institute noted that the mosquitoes were one of a number of new insect species discovered in Iceland in recent years due to a warming climate and the growth of international transportation.
