Germany as well, this year there are huge swarms of mosquitos everywhere on the hiking trails. In the past you could find them deep inside forests, now they are even around the fields in broad daylight. It's unprecedented.

Not sure what is going on, maybe they all hatched before their predators came around. Haven't seen one dragonfly yet.

"Germany as well, this year there are huge swarms of mosquitos everywhere on the hiking trails."

Certainly not all of germany.

But it was a very warm and wet spring, followed by a cold snap that should have killed plenty, unless you live where it was too warm for the cold to be effective.

But I doubt we have more mosquitos in general now (and the article does not say scotland has more btw.)
