Diptera: Mosquitos and Biting Flies
Catherine Zettel Nalen and Daniel Kline (USDA-ARS-CMAVE) compiled this list while surveying mosquitos for their study titled Effects of orientation on the efficacy of baited MosquitoMagnet-Experimental (MM-X) traps for catching Chrysops spp. (Diptera: Tabanidae) in two locations in North Central Florida. For more information on the study, see the Year end report, 2012 and Year end report, 2013.
