Toxorhynchites brevipalpis, a predator on larvae of Aedes aegypti and other mosquitos, was successfully colonized in the laboratory. At 25 degrees C, embryonic development was completed within 50 hours of oviposition, while larval and pupal development together took a further 27-41 days. The adult mosquitos mated in cages as small as 15x15x15 cm, and the embryonated eggs were obtained 6-31 days after the adults emerged.
短须巨蚊是埃及伊蚊和其他蚊子幼虫的捕食者，已在实验室成功定殖。在25摄氏度下，产卵后50小时内胚胎发育完成，而幼虫和蛹的发育总共还需要27至41天。成年蚊子能在小至15×15×15厘米的笼子里交配，成虫出现后6至31天可获得带胚胎的卵。
