Utilizing Auto-Montage technology for identifying field-collected container-inhabiting mosquito eggs.
We describe the methodology used to take images of the eggs of 3 container-breeding mosquito species recovered from ovitraps in north-central Florida using the Auto-Montage software package. This software allows for high-resolution imagery, thereby providing a new tool for mosquito egg identification. Images, as well as a brief comparison of the mosquito eggs using previously described literature, are provided.
