Abstract
The Danube River has created one of the most beautiful wetlands in Europe - Kopački rit (NE Croatia). Eleven species of mosquitoes have been found there. They breed in the swamps of the Reserve creating enormous populations in favorable conditions. Immediately after floods, the explosion of mosquito populations occur, and the adults begin to migrate. This research, among other things traces one direction of their migration.
