Comment: 41 mosquitoes (0.2% of all specimens collected) were identified as Cs. morsitans , making it the most commonly collected Culiseta species during this study. Culiseta morsitans was found in insect traps from June to September. The low number of individuals collected is likely due to collection bias.
