Abstract:

Utilizing BG-Pro mosquito traps with BG Lure and LED at nine locations in Bloomington Indiana we started sampling on May 23, 2023. We collected 629 mosquitoes from 9 genera and 23 species including invasive and medically important species. Our species accumulation curve confirms exhaustive sampling, accurately representing local mosquito diversity with our employed methodology. The most abundant species in our study were Ae japonicus (20%) followed by the Cx pipiens complex (17%).
