New Zealand has three introduced mosquito species: striped or ankle biting mosquito (Aedes notoscriptus), southern house or brown mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) and the saltwater mosquito (Aedes australis). These all have a taste for human blood, particularly the striped and southern house mosquitos.
