With the increasing importance of mosquito-borne
diseases in the United States, identification becomes even more important than in the
past. However, identification guides are difficult to come by. These pages offer a set
of images and accompanying text produced by the Centers for Disease Control for the
generic identification of mosquito larvae and adults. The images have been digitized by
the UTEP Biodiversity Collections from slides originally produced by the CDC in
the 1970s.
Users may view the slides and text online for either the adult identification set or the larva set. Proceed through the set by clicking on "next" at the bottom of each slide.
Alternatively, the images and data may be accessed in PDF format.
