CANADA’S NATIONAL MOSQUITO? MASS-RESTING OF ANOPHELES EARLI (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) FEMALES IN A BEAVER LODGE IN ALBERTA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
A single collection from a beaver lodge near George Lake, Alberta (53°57′ N., 114°06′ W.), in mid-May 1976 yielded 1362 female Anopheles earlei Vargas, of which 39.2% were blood-fed and 3.1% gravid. The mosquitoes could have overwintered in the lodge and fed on the beavers, but they could also have flown in from other overwintering and feeding sites earlier in the spring.
