I always hear that mosquitos like warm weather - So why do we have so many of them in Alaska?

Question

I think it's the state bird!

Answer 1

It needs improvement in  the healthy atmosphere to at least  reduce the menace?

Answer 2

I like your comment. I know what you mean.

Mosquites need standing, or only just flowing, water in order to breed. It doesn't matter to the mosquito, or it's larvae, whether the water is warm or cold.

The biggest breeding area for mosquitoes is not in the tropics as most people think, but in the tundra and taiga all round the world, between the Northern timber line and the Arctic Ocean. This is an absolutely colossal area of North America (Alaska and Canada), Northern Europe, Russia, Mongolia and China.

Answer 3

It gets pretty warm in Alaska in the summer time..and I know the reason there are SO many up in the Arctic in Alaska is due to all the standing water...perfect breeding grounds for them.
