Show abstract

Mosquitoes display highly variable oviposition strategies and behavior. By using a high-speed camera, we detailly documented for the first time the egg-throwing strategy of the sylvatic yellow fever vector Sabethes albiprivus Theobald in laboratory. An oviposition trap made with sapucaia nut for field collection of tree-hole mosquitoes and obtaining Sa. albiprivus eggs either in the field or in the laboratory colony is described.
