Aedes Mosquito
Aedes aegypti
The adult is a small, dark mosquito with pale markings, often found around human dwellings and shaded outdoor areas. Both sexes drink nectar, but females also take blood meals to develop eggs, using slender mouthparts to pierce skin. It flies in quick, evasive bursts and often bites during the day, especially around dawn and dusk. Aedes aegypti is notable as an important vector of human diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika.
