A self-marking device for emergent adult mosquitoes.

ABSTRACT

A portable, tent-like device with powdered fluorescent pigment for marking emergent adult mosquitoes was evaluated in the field using Culex quinquefasciatus adults. The top of the device was equipped with cheesecloth partitions impregnated with the pigment. Eighty-six percent of the emergent adults passed through the partitions, and all were marked.
