[Mosquito studies on Hiddensee].
The author reports on the biting activity of mosquitoes during the years 1957-77. His observations were made in the locality called "Duenenheide" on the island of Hiddensee, GDR. This "Duenenheide" is a heath-landscape with downs, situated near the village of Vitte. The daily rhythm of the mosquitoes is analyzed as well as the dependence on wind speed and air temperature near the ground. The results are compared with sporadic data on Stomoxys and on biting midges. The behaviour of chironomids is integrated in this comparison.
