Notes
Distribution: Darsie and Ward (2005): Mexico, Eastern United States. GSMNP:
North Carolina, Tennessee.
Egg: Eggs are laid on the side of the walls of deciduous tree-holes just above the water
line; will hatch when water level rises to cover the eggs and when temperatures are
favorable. Occasionally found in man-made containers including water troughs and
wooden barrels.
Larva and pupa: Larvae and pupae develop inside the water in the tree-hole and can
be found year around in most Southern states.
Adult: Crepuscular; most active during early morning and early evening.
Medical Importance: Vector of LaCrosse virus.
