Critter of the Week: The saltwater mosquito

From the collecton Critter of the Week

If you got a painful mozzie bite while relaxing at the beach this summer, it might have been a female naeroa or saltwater mosquito (Opifex fuscus) looking for a tasty blood meal. Naeroa are unique to Aotearoa and the only mosquitoes that live and breed in our salty rock pools.
