Medical Geography PhD student Cat Lippi led a new Featured Creatures article on a bromeliad mosquito, Wyeomyia vanduzeei, published online by UF Entomology and Nematology and FDACS/DPI. Wyeomyia vanduzeei lays eggs and completes larval development in water held by bromeliad plants, making these mosquitoes more common in central and southern Florida where bromeliads are frequently used in landscaping. Although not medically important, this mosquito is a nuisance species that readily bites humans. To learn more about this mosquito’s life history and tips on management, check out the full article.
