BIONOMICS. — The adults of this species frequent woodlands near their 

 breeding places. The females attack man during the day or early evening in 

 woodlands or around homes located in or near wooded areas. The bite of this 

 mosquito is painful and lasting. The larvae occur in water in rot cavities of 

 trees and occasionally in artificial containers, particularly wooden tubs, barrels, 

 and troughs, and may be found throughout the year in the southern states (4th 

 Sv. C. Med. Lab, reports, 1942-1944, unpublished).
