766 MOSQUITOES OF NOKTH AMERICA 



of larvae from eggs hatching at different times, but all overwintered. The adults 

 frequent woods, and bite freely by day in shaded places. Dr. Dyar considers 

 the bite most annoying of that of any of the common eastern species, since the 

 bite leaves a swelling and irritation lasting longer than with other species. 

 This species is especially prevalent in dry wooded regions in summer, where 

 standing water upon the ground is scarce or absent, and the only breeding-places 

 containing water are the deep holes in trees. In the dry mountains of Virginia 

 and North Carolina, this, with the other tree-hole inhabiting mosquitoes, Ortho- 

 podomyia dgnifer, Ccelodiazesis iarheri, and Megarhinus septentrionalis, are 

 practically the only mosquitoes met with. Professor Smith says : " In no 

 instance was this form included in the captures made after dark," and it is 

 probable that it is active by day only.

The larva of Aedes triseriatus is liable to be mistaken for that of Aedes 

 cdlopuSj which it much resembles, and like it often occurs in aritificial recep- 

 tacles. This is the only tree-hole Aedes occurring in temperate North America, 

 in the East, unless we include Aedes calopus, the "yellow-fever mosquito," as 

 such. However, Aedes calopus is not endemic in temperate regions.
