This cypress swamp in southern Alabama provides larval habitats for some
kinds of mosquitoes, such as Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Coquillettidia
perturbans. Farther back and higher up in the swamp, Culiseta melanura
larvae will be found in cavities underneath the bases of some trees.
Irrigated pastures
provide an ideal habitat for Aedes vexans, a common nuisance mosquito
in the United States. These mosquitoes lay their eggs in areas that are
occasionally covered with water.
