Abstract

Mosquito larvae and pupae are found in a great variety of habitats, ranging from large expanses of water such as swamps, marshes and rice fields to small collections of water as found in tyres, domestic utensils, tree-holes, plant axils, snail shells and fallen leaves. A number of, often arbitrary, classifications have been used (Bates, 1949; Boyd, 1930; Hopkins, 1952; Mattingly, 1969; Mogi, 1981). Newer systems have been proposed by Service (1993), and by Laird (1988) who gives a useful review of past classifications and presents much detail on the community ecology of mosquito larval habitats. Some mosquitoes exhibit considerable plasticity in their selection of breeding places, such as many Culex and Aedes species which occur in a variety of ground collections of water, whereas other species are very restricted in their choice of breeding places like those colonising tree-holes, bromeliads or pitcher plants.
