Not just noted, they're well established across southern and central Europe and they're spreading quickly. They're extremely aggressive and bite all day long, unlike native mosquito species. Disease outbreaks seem like just a matter of time at this point.

A good example about how the local mosquito species may be replaced by something worse in just... what? 20 years? in front of our eyes.

The problem is that the plan is "we will remove only Anopheles (that bites from sunset to dawn)", and they are missing the second season, called "Tiger mosquito (that bites from dawn to sunset) gladly fills the position". Just when people prefer to be active and go out we'll have now a bigger mosquito, more vicious, that needs more blood, with a nastier bite and able yet to transmit dengue and Nile virus (maybe malaria tomorrow?).

And we can have all of that and much more for just a little fortune.
