Presence records of Aedes vexans (Diptera: Culicidae) in Germany

To document its spatial and temporal occurrence, we compiled a comprehensive dataset based on both passive and active mosquito monitoring. The dataset comprises 6422 occurrence records collected between 2011 and 2023.

They document the presence of 225565 individual mosquitoes from 2784 distinct locations. Of the total occurrences, 2963 originate from citizen science contributions, while the remainder stem from active monitoring.Passive monitoring was conducted through the citizen science project “Mückenatlas”, in which volunteers collected and submitted mosquito specimens from across Germany. All citizen-collected specimens were subsequently identified by professional entomologists.
