  1. How worried should we be about the invasive mosquitoes in the UK?

    Mosquitoes that can transmit infections like dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus have been found breeding in the UK.

    The UK Health Security Agency announced that the species had been detected at residential properties in east London. The fourth time it’s been discovered in the UK in recent years, and the first time it’s been found breeding.

  6. We welcome our 3rd plenary speaker at #ABL2026!

    Dr. Chloé Lahondère (Virginia Tech, USA) explores how temperature shapes mosquito biology across scales—from host interactions and thermoregulation to climate change and ecosystem processes. 🦟🌡️

    “For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.

    The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.

    This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”

  8. Found two dozen mosquito egg rafts in the mini-pond today. All Culex, I think, and all oviposited overnight. I really need to set up a camera trap to record them in the act. #pond #diptera #mosquitoes #culex #culicidae #water #biology

    Researchers uncover previously unexplored details of #mosquito’s specialized detection mechanisms
    Biologists use cutting-edge imaging technology to probe anatomical adaptations designed to target carbon dioxide emitted by humans

    The researchers focused on these features in #AedesAegypti #mosquitoes, which are known to spread #yellowFever, #dengue, #chikungunya and #Zika viruses.

  13. An Elephant Mosquito (genus Toxorhynchites) spotted at Windsor Nature Park, Singapore on 8 Feb 2025. These large forest mosquitoes are not blood-suckers. And their larvae feed on other mosquito larvae (like those of Aedes aegypti), so they are considered a beneficial species.

  18. A stroll through the #garden at lunchtime. It’s a bright, sunny day here today with very good light conditions.

    In a pale which is used to store #water for watering #plants, you can see what look like #mosquitoes on the surface of the water. You can see #ripples in the water and reflections of the plants around as well as a few #RosePetals which have fallen into the pale.
