  Subject: [NatureNS] Japanese Mosquito


  While wandering the neighborhood recently (Dartmouth) I came across an =
old metal container filled with water and mosquito larvae and pupae =
(tumblers) . I collected about thirty tumblers in jars to check the =
species. The first ten or so that hatched were Common Rain Barrel =
Mosquito (Culex pipiens). The next ten or so were Japanese Mosquito =
(Ochlerotatus japonicus). This species was first found in North America =
in New Jersey in 1998. It was first reported in New Brunswick  in 2005. =
It was reported in Nova Scortia in 2008 (Jeff Ogden).  It may  prove to =
be one of the most common mosquitoes in the HRM. Its rapid expansion is =
amazing, spreading in 13 years to more than twenty states and at least =
four provinces.
  It is a container breeding species and beautifully colored with a =
striped golden back, silver spots on the thorax and abdomen and black =
legs broadly striped with white below the joints.
