Caged Aedes aegypti and Culex tarsalis are attracted to insect larvae, engorge on their body fluids, and produce viable eggs. Attractiveness of the larvae is related to their size, shape, and color but not to their movement. The possibility that wild mosquitoes substitute insect hemolymph for vertebrate blood is discussed.
圈养的埃及伊蚊和致倦库蚊会被昆虫幼虫吸引,吸食它们的体液,并产出可孵化的卵。幼虫的吸引力与其大小、形状和颜色有关,而与其活动无关。本文讨论了野生蚊子用昆虫血淋巴替代脊椎动物血液的可能性。
