Aedes canadensis Theob — Woodland Pool Mosquito. 



This mosquito resembles Aedes sylvestris except that it has a 

 white band at both base and tip of each tarsal segment, making 

 these tarsal bands apparently of great width. The distal segment 

 of the hind tarsi is entirely white. It prefers woodland pools for 

 its larvae, but they may also be found in open ground pools with 

 the larvae of Aedes svk'estris.
