🦟 Mosquito Monday🦟 Meet the Eastern Saltmarsh Mosquito (Aedes sollicitans)

🔍 How to Identify It
This medium-sized mosquito has dark scales with distinct pale bands on its legs and a striking pattern of light-colored scales on its body. It's a strong flyer and is often active during the day and at dusk.

📍 Where You'll Find It
Common in coastal salt marshes, mangroves, and tidal wetlands throughout Florida. After high tides or heavy rains, adults can travel 10–20 miles inland in search of a blood meal.

⚠️ Why It Matters
The Eastern Saltmarsh Mosquito is an aggressive nuisance biter and has been associated with the transmission of viruses such as dog heartworm and, under certain conditions, eastern equine encephalitis (EEE).

🩸 Who It Likes to Bite
This mosquito feeds on both people and animals, including horses, birds, and other mammals, making it an important bridge between wildlife and humans.

💡 Fun Fact
Its eggs are laid on moist soil—not directly in water! They can survive dry conditions for months and hatch when high tides or flooding cover them.

❌ Mosquito Myth
Myth: Saltwater mosquitoes only stay near the coast.
Fact: Eastern Saltmarsh Mosquitoes are powerful flyers and can travel many miles inland, creating mosquito problems far from where they developed.

🏡 Integrated Pest Management Tip
Managing saltmarsh mosquitoes takes teamwork. Coastal mosquito control programs use surveillance, habitat management, biological control, and targeted larvicides to reduce populations while protecting sensitive wetlands. Around your home, wear EPA-registered insect repellent and make sure window and door screens are in good repair.

See you next Mosquito Monday!
