"Wiring and Connectivity Enabling CO2 Sensitization in the Aedes aegypti Mosquito", the PhD thesis of Karen Jialu Bao in Wei Lee's lab:
If you need to know what mosquito larvae look like, here you go. These are probably Asian tiger mosquitoes. The different sizes are because they go through four larval instars as they age, followed by a pupal stage that doesn't feed. The youngest instar is barely visible even when you zoom the video. Some species take less than a week to mature into an adult, which is why you should dump containers of stagnant water every several days. #mosquitoes #larvae #diptera #insects #aedes

"Males from yellow fever mosquitoes and Asian tiger mosquitoes listen for the specific frequencies of sound made by the flapping wings of females and use these sounds to select their own species."
I checked the sticky card in one of my autocidal gravid ovitraps yesterday and found six Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus). Six is admittedly a small number but one can tally their current and future broods, too, so perhaps as many as 1800 fewer mosquitoes. I have five of these devices in my yard. #mosquitoes #insects #aedes #entomology
Asian tiger mosquito larva feeding on crumbled Mosquito Dunks, a formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis made by Summit Chemical Company. Within 24 hours the larva will be dead due to the toxins the bacteria produces. The bacteria will stay active for a month. Totally safe for pets, birds, and other insects. #mosquito #mosquitoes #aedes #insects #bacteria
Any mosquito biologists out there? Am curious whether Aedes albopictus (1) requires contact with water before depositing eggs on the side of a container, (2) how far above the waterline it typically oviposits, (3) whether it prefers to oviposit onto certain substrates. I can't seem to find any articles on these topics. #mosquitoes #aedes #oviposition #biology #entomology

It's mosquito day for the intro Entomology class! Here's our most prolific local biter, Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito.

On Tuesday I will be on TV here in Sweden to talk about mosquitoes. Annual event, and I feel I say the same thing every time…I need new material! Not sure how many of my #mosquito colleagues have made the transfer from Davy Jones locker to here, but any tips and suggestions for some new and noteworthy findings would be greatly appreciated! Please retoot! #aedes #malaria
Alien floating through space, or mosquito pupa floating through pond water?
We report, you decide.
