The Mosquitoes of New Jersey 



151 



A. fuscus Wlk. (The Little Smoky Mosquito). Occurs throughout the 

 state, breeding continuously from April to October, sparingly at first, more 

 abundantly later in the season. The larvae are essentially clean-water forms, 

 and seem to prefer the more permanent bodies of water, but they are oc- 

 cassionally found in puddles and rarely in rain-barrels.
