Mosquitoes have just been found in Iceland for the first time. It’s more alarming than it sounds

For the first time in recorded history, mosquitoes have arrived in Iceland — a country once famous for being bug-free. The discovery of three Culiseta annulata mosquitoes this month marks more than an entomological curiosity; it’s a signal of a warming world reshaping even the coldest corners of the planet. Scientists say the insects likely won’t be leaving, thanks to rising temperatures that make survival possible — another reminder that climate change is rewriting the boundaries of nature itself. Kristin Toussaint with Fast Company has the full story.
