The oviposition behavior of the treehole mosquito Aedes triseriatus (Say) was studied by counting the eggs laid in 300 oviposition traps weekly for one season (May-October) in Illinois. Eggs were aggregated spatially among traps each week, and temporally among weekly samples and for individual traps over weekly counts. Aggregation could be associated with a nonrandom dispersion pattern of oviposition events and with the oviposition of 20-60 eggs per event. Thus, females were laying clumps of eggs in an overdispersed manner. The greatest number of eggs was found in late July when prevalence (proportion of traps with eggs) and intensity (number of eggs per positive trap) peaked simultaneously. Intensity also peaked in May and prevalence peaked in mid-June and early September. When traps from which eggs were removed each week were compared with traps in which eggs were allowed to accumulate, prevalence was naturally higher in the latter group. However, the intensity of eggs was similar in both groups, indicating that more eggs were laid in traps from which eggs were removed. Thus, the presence of eggs on oviposition surfaces was associated with a decrease in further oviposition.
通过在伊利诺伊州一个季节（5月至10月）每周统计300个产卵诱捕器中所产的卵，对树洞蚊三带喙库蚊（赛伊）的产卵行为进行了研究。每周卵在诱捕器之间呈空间聚集，在每周样本之间以及在每周计数中单个诱捕器的卵随时间呈聚集状态。聚集可能与产卵事件的非随机分布模式以及每次事件产卵20至60枚有关。因此，雌蚊以过度分散的方式产下卵块。在7月下旬发现的卵数量最多，此时发生率（有卵诱捕器的比例）和强度（每个阳性诱捕器中的卵数）同时达到峰值。强度在5月也达到峰值，发生率在6月中旬和9月初达到峰值。当将每周移除卵的诱捕器与允许卵积累的诱捕器进行比较时，后一组的发生率自然更高。然而，两组中卵的强度相似，这表明在移除卵的诱捕器中产卵更多。因此，产卵表面上有卵与进一步产卵减少有关。
