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.

Mosquito larvae, commonly known as ''wrigglers,'' are aquatic and characterized by a large head, a broad thorax, and a narrow, wormlike abdomen. They typically hang just below the water's surface, breathing air through tubes located at the end of their abdomen. The nutrients acquired during the larval stage are crucial for the mosquito's development into an adult. Larvae possess a specialized organ called a siphon, which they use to breathe air at the water's surface. They feed on organic matter found in standing water, such as that in unused fountains, buckets, paint cans, and rain barrels. Mosquitoes are vectors for numerous diseases, including dengue, malaria, chikungunya, Zika, West Nile virus, La Crosse virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and yellow fever. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing over 700,000 deaths annually. Mosquito larvae sampling is currently underway in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, as of 15/09/2024.
