Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the
