This is a great shot! We didn't use to have tiger mosquitos here, but a couple of years back they appeared - probably with some of the ships. Really small and hard to see compared to the local species.
Yeah, I read on the Wikipedia page that they like to catch rides on ships in shipments of old tires. This one can carry most of the mosquito borne viruses, not malaria (a protist) though, that's a different mosquito.
No problem, we already had the malaria mosquitos here! I need some repellent, I guess!
