Comment: 28 mosquitoes (0.1% of all specimens collected) were identified as Cs. annulata . These mosquitoes were found throughout the warm season, from May to October, and seem to have the longest period of activity of all of the Culiseta species in Estonia. The low number of individuals collected is likely to be due to collection bias.
