Anopheles mosquitoes are transmitters of Malaria. • The Anopheles mosquito is responsible for transmitting malaria. • Adult - pale and dark marks on its wings and resting 45 degree angle to the surface. • Larval rest parallel to surface of the water. • Egg is about 1mm long and has floats on its sides. • Life Cycle • Egg to adult stage takes 6 - 10 days. • Complete metamorphosis - egg, larval, pupa and adult. • Habits • Habitat - prefer clean and unpolluted water. • Biting rhythm - bite at night and rest indoor and outdoor (depends on species). • Prefer darker colours. • Female with one blood meal can lay 50 - 150 eggs. http://mosquitofreeworld.com/home-mosquito-control-systems/

Adult - thorax, legs and veins on the wings are always covered with brown scales. Dull in colour. The tip of the abdomen is always blunt. Larval rest 45 degree from the surface of the water. Egg is brown, long and cylindrical, vertical on water surface, cemented in a raft of 300 eggs. Raft usually 3 - 4mm long and 2 - 3mm wide. http://mosquitofreeworld.com/home-mosquito-control-systems/
