About Aedes alboannulatus (Macquart, 1850)
Aedes alboannulatus (Macquart, 1850) is a species of mosquito in the genus Aedes that is native to Australia. This species breeds in rain-filled pools located in open, sunlit, or forested areas. Its eggs are resistant to desiccation, and are most often laid on the soil substrate of drying pools. Adult Aedes alboannulatus readily bite humans, typically biting at dusk, or in shaded areas during the daytime. Adults also feed on and bite birds. This mosquito species is widely distributed across southern Australia, and can be found in both coastal and inland regions of southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and southern Western Australia.
