Is this a Tiger Mosquito?

kamobe · 2020-10-19 17:22:07

Encountered quite a few of these in house over summer, Google image search pointed me to "Tiger Mosquitos". Some insect in the house has been biting, this seems a likely candidate. Wondering if it is that Mosquito, should it be reported somewhere..??

Yes it is. They are better able to adapt to lower temperatures than most other types. Anecdotally reports of a lot more mossie bites in general towards the end of summer into september this year, result of the mild winter probably..
