Aedes atropalpus (Coquillett, 1902) - (rockpool mosquito)
This is a common rockpool mosquito in North America. It is native to areas east of the Mississippi and eastern Canada. However, it has been also reported from Europe since the 1990s and has invaded many European countries. Apart from rockpools, it can also breed in tree holes and artificial containers or tires. A. atropalpus readily bites humans, but is not known to be a major health hazard.
A. atropalpus is closely related to Aedes aegypti but unlikely that species it can produce an initial batch of eggs before its first blood meal (facultatively autogenous).
Synonyms:
Ochlerotatus atropalpus
