Aedes imperfectus is a species of mosquito belonging to the genus Aedes.[1] Its geographic distribution and detailed biology are not yet well documented, but has been reported in Australia,[2] particularly in tea-tree swamps in northern Tasmania.[3]
Life cycle
[edit]
Aedes imperfectus, like other Aedes mosquitoes, has a complex life cycle consisting of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.[3] The entire cycle from egg to adult typically takes about 7-10 days, depending on environmental conditions.
