What is the difference between Culex and Aedes mosquitoes?
First, let’s discuss what these two mosquitoes have in common. When it comes to obtaining a blood meal for the purpose of reproduction, both mosquitoes are the same. Both have four life stages – egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female Culex and Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, and both are potential vectors for harmful diseases. Even with these general similarities, these two mosquito genera have many differences.
