Aedes Albopictus - Asian Tiger Mosquito Life Cycle And Characteristics - Forest Mosquito - Deadly Disease Vector
The Asian Tiger Mosquito or Forest Mosquito (Aedes albopictus or Stegomyia albopicta) larvae lay their eggs in water, but they typically deposit them on the sides of containers like buckets or tires just above the standing water's surface. The eggs hatch into larvae when they are flooded by rain or other water sources, and the larvae then develop in the water. The Asian Tiger Mosquito is a member of the Culicidae family and a known vector for yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), West Nile virus, and Zika viruses. This photo is taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 1, 2025 (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto).
