Observations on the flight and mating behavior of Anopheles pseudopunctipennis under insectary conditions.
Anopheles pseudopunctipennis showed a bimodal daily pattern in flight activity with the largest peak at 2000 h and the smaller one at 0400 h. In the first 10 days as adults, the maximum swarming activity was observed between 2-6 days of age. Also, sexual encounters were registered at the same time interval.
