It's not clear to me that this is the tiger mosquito, I think it could be a close relative... Thanks for your help in advance Maherjos attached the following image: [90.5Kb] Edited by Maherjos on 26-09-2023 17:19

In the photographs taken of the already collected insect, the pattern of white spots on the thorax that distinguishes the Aedes albopictus from other species of the genus can be perfectly appreciated, as can be seen in the comparative sheet between them, contained in the work of Víctor Manuel Ureña Rísquez http://dspace.umh...Dsquez.pdf Maherjos attached the following image: [86.21Kb] Edited by Maherjos on 26-09-2023 16:43
