Those dont look like the mosquitoes I've seen... probably a different blood sucking bug.

Mývatn, the lake in the north of the island Literally translates to Midge Water/Lake. I assure you there are plenty of mosquito's in summer!

They're not mosquitoes, they're another species of small insects that don't bite you. Still annoying though.

Iceland really doesn't have mosquitoes. They do have other fly-like insects that bite you though (which is probably what you see in the pic)

How is midge then translated to Icelandic?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

As a correction to my last comment (thanks @joishine) it is correct that there are no mosquitos but instead many midges in Iceland. 1/2

The lake that I was talking about is also translated to midgelake and not mosquito lakt like I stated before.

Maybe he's a lurker that made an account to respond to a front page post about his country? I d'know, it's so specific for a bot.

Highly unlikely it's not a bot. It hasn't replied to any comments, not even this comment thread to say "hey I'm not a bot".

I suppose, but there also aren't any ads or links. I've seen a lot of complaints about bots, but what is it they're trying to accomplish?
