Aedes epactius is a species of mosquito (Culicidae) native to North America.[1][2][3][4] Some mosquitoes in North America, such as Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti have a similar scutellum pattern.

Diet

Like other mosquito species, female Aedes epactius take bloodmeal to develop their eggs. Apart from bloodfeeding, they feed on nectar and other sweet plant juices.[1]
