adult feeding behaviour IDOMAL:0002004 IDOMAL:0002004 Important aspects of the feeding behaviour of any mosquito species include (i) the identity of the vertebrate species on which it feeds in nature, (ii) whether its host range is restricted or unrestricted, (iii) the quantitative distribution of its feeds between host species in particular localities. Two modes of feeding have been distinguished in male mosquitoes and one additional mode in females: water ingestion, nectar feeding and, for females only, blood feeding. idomal_namespace adult behavioural process
