Report a mosquito: You can take pictures from all pages of the application and / or find them in your photo library to report the presence of a mosquito. Upon receipt of your message, the entomologists at EID Atlantique will tell you which species it is. By signaling the presence of mosquitoes in this way, you are contributing to “citizen watch”.

Identify a mosquito: A simplified key allows you in a few clicks to check whether the insect you have observed, photographed or captured is indeed a mosquito or if it is another insect. If it is a mosquito you can then report it to EID Atlantique who will tell you what species it is.
