Record of Aedes albopictus in Nebraska with notes on its biology.
Adult Aedes albopictus were collected in Nebraska on August 10, 1992, at a scrap tire pile in Douglas County. Subsequent collections in 1992 revealed the presence of adult Ae. albopictus at a tire storage yard in West Point, NE. During 1995 and 1996, an ecological study of Ae. albopictus at the West Point site was conducted. Aedes albopictus populations were determined to be able to survive winter conditions in this region.
