A Note on a Beetle which preys on Mosquito Larvae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
Last July (1922) a species of beetle, kindly identified by Dr. G. A. K. Marshall as the Tiger beetle, Cicindela octoguttata, F., a common Tropical African species, was observed to prey on mosquito larvae at Accra, in the Gold Coast. As this habit of the beetle does not appear to have been previously observed, and as it is perhaps remarkable that it should prey on such entirely aquatic insects as mosquito larvae, the following brief note may prove of interest.
