Most research has investigated floral nectar as a source of carbohydrates for mosquitoes and has ignored homopteran honeydew. We have assessed the prevalence of honeydew and nectar feeding in 7 species of mosquitoes collected from Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. In total, 403 individuals were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography, with melezitose and stachyose as honeydew-indicator sugars. From the 403 individuals, 214 contained sugars, of which only 8.8% had the honeydew-indicating sugars. We conclude that female Aedes and Ochlerotatus mosquitoes in Algonquin Provincial Park seem to feed infrequently on honeydew.
大多数研究都将花蜜作为蚊子碳水化合物的来源进行了调查，而忽略了同翅目昆虫的蜜露。我们评估了从加拿大安大略省阿尔冈昆省立公园采集的7种蚊子中取食蜜露和花蜜的情况。总共对403只蚊子进行了薄层色谱分析，以松三糖和水苏糖作为蜜露指示糖。在这403只蚊子中，有214只含有糖分，其中只有8.8%含有蜜露指示糖。我们得出结论，阿尔冈昆省立公园的雌性伊蚊和奥库蚊似乎很少取食蜜露。
