The visual responses of female mosquitoes during appetitive and attraction flights to conspicuous features of their environment were reviewed. These studies showed for both flights long-range orientation (positive) could be followed by a short-range response (negative) to avoid the goal. In conjunction with the optomotor anemotactic response, appetitive flights are controlled by visual orientation toward more or less distant targets, which permits females to make a wider search than upwind flight along could accomplish. Most attraction flights are controlled primarily by visual and olfactory cues. The influence of visual targets upon mosquito flight behavior and the effect of this behavior upon trap catches is discussed.
本文综述了雌性蚊子在趋向性飞行和吸引性飞行过程中对周围环境显著特征的视觉反应。这些研究表明，在这两种飞行中，远距离定向（正向）之后可能会跟随一个近距离反应（负向）以避开目标。结合视动性风趋性反应，趋向性飞行通过对或多或少远距离目标的视觉定向来控制，这使得雌性蚊子能够进行比单纯逆风飞行更广泛的搜索。大多数吸引性飞行主要由视觉和嗅觉线索控制。文中还讨论了视觉目标对蚊子飞行行为的影响以及这种行为对诱捕捕获量的影响。
