Northern House Mosquito
Culiseta longiareolata
The adult is a slender flying mosquito found around standing water, vegetation, livestock areas, and human settlements. Both sexes feed on sugary fluids such as nectar, while females may take blood meals to support egg production. It flies with quick, delicate wingbeats and locates hosts using cues such as carbon dioxide, scent, and warmth. Its aquatic juvenile stages mean even small containers of stagnant water can support its development.
