Common Malaria Mosquito
Anopheles quadrimaculatus
Adult common malaria mosquitoes occur around wetlands, ponds, and other freshwater breeding sites, often resting in sheltered vegetation. Both sexes feed on nectar and other plant sugars, while females may take blood meals to produce eggs. Adults are recognized by their spotted wings and their characteristic angled resting posture.
