Abstract
The catches of a Malaise trap and a miniature light trap were compared over a 6-week period. Both traps caught the same 7 species but in very different proportions. The species varied 54-fold in their attraction to the light trap. Females were much less photopositive when engorged, and their response varied with reproductive condition. The Malaise trap is recommended for comparative studies of mosquito ecology.
