Abstract
In February 2024, a resident of Mannheim, Germany, collected aggressively attacking mosquitoes in her home and forwarded them to the "Mueckenatlas" citizen science recording scheme. The specimens turned out to be Aedes albopictus. Upon discussing the situation and consultation on the biology of the Asian tiger mosquito, the submitter found numerous developmental stages in the water of a flowerpot with an orchid in her living room. The occurrence of adult tiger mosquitoes during wintertime in Central Europe has never been described before and is probably just an indoor phenomenon. Ideal conditions provided and continued indoor breeding and activity might be an exceptional way for the species to overwinter.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
