Not sure if any further ID is possible, but if someone could confirm whether this is Aedes (and/or suggest a likely species in the area), I'd be grateful. Place: Chongwe District, Lusaka Province, Zambia. Habitat: in thicket of (non-native) ginger. Date: 07/10/2011 Size: 5mm (excluding legs) Will van Niekerk attached the following image:  [113.07Kb] Edited by Will van Niekerk on 19-01-2012 22:29 |
