Swarming behavior of Armigeres subalbatus was observed in Pondicherry, South India. Swarming occurred both at dawn and dusk over stationary markers. The duration of swarming was longer at dust (135 minutes) and shorter at dawn (75 minutes). Higher intensity in terms of relative density of participating males was observed at dusk when compared to dawn. Peak swarming activity was observed at light intensity ranging between 10 and 183 lux. Response to low light intensity of 1-10 lux was different during dawn and dusk. At this intensity initiation took place at dawn and termination was seen at dusk. Mating pairs were seen in the swarm. Analysis of the composition of swarms showed a male to female ratio of 1:0.01 at dusk and 1:0.02 at dawn. Besides nulliparous females, a few one parous and two parous females were also obtained from the swarm.
在印度南部的本地治里观察到了骚扰阿蚊的集群行为。集群行为在黎明和黄昏时均会在固定标志物上方出现。黄昏时集群持续时间较长（135分钟），黎明时较短（75分钟）。与黎明相比，黄昏时参与集群的雄性相对密度更高，即强度更大。在光照强度为10至183勒克斯时观察到集群活动高峰。黎明和黄昏时对1至10勒克斯的低光照强度的反应有所不同。在此强度下，黎明时开始集群，黄昏时集群结束。在集群中发现了配对的雌雄蚊。对集群组成的分析表明，黄昏时雄蚊与雌蚊的比例为1:0.01，黎明时为1:0.02。除未产卵的雌蚊外，还从集群中获得了一些产过一次卵和两次卵的雌蚊。
