Seasonal abundance, daily biting activity, and the age composition of adult Anopheles homunculus female populations were monitored weekly during 1989-90 by human bait on the ground at Cumaca Forest, Platanal, Trinidad. Landing collections of An. homunculus showed diurnal and nocturnal activity, with a single peak between 1600 and 2000 hours. Overall, 27.7% of An. homunculus were collected during the dry season and 72.3% during the wet season. Similar seasonal parous rates were observed in wet (58.9%) and dry (56.1%) seasons. Diel periodicities of nullipars and pars were almost identical during the wet and dry seasons.
1989 - 1990年期间，每周在特立尼达普拉塔纳尔库马卡森林的地面上用人饵监测微小按蚊成年雌性种群的季节丰度、每日叮咬活动和年龄组成。微小按蚊的着陆采集显示出昼夜活动，在16:00至20:00之间有一个单峰。总体而言，27.7%的微小按蚊是在旱季采集到的，72.3%是在雨季采集到的。在雨季（58.9%）和旱季（56.1%）观察到相似的季节性产蚊率。在雨季和旱季，未产蚊和已产蚊的昼夜节律几乎相同。
