Mozzie Month 2022
Join us on Mozzie Month 2022, from Feb 14th to Mar 29th and contribute to mosquito research in Australia.
With the warm, wet and humid weather impacted by La Nina, mosquito populations are increasing in different parts of Australia. Thus, monitoring mosquitoes is crucial to explore how the weather variables can affect species numbers, population size and distribution.
Citizen scientists have contributed to our Mozzie Monitors project from different states and territories in Australia. Data collected help us understand the diversity and abundance of mosquitoes in each area.
