Aedes cinereus

Aedes cinereus is the smallest mosquito commonly encountered in Teton County.  This species may have multiple generations each year, however one generation per season is most typical in Teton County with adult Aedes cinereus emerging later in June and persisting through much of the summer.   Larvae occur primarily in semipermanent sedge marshes that are shaded or partially shaded by small shrubs such as willows.  Adult females may locally become a nuisance near areas with abundant larval habitat.  Image from Carpenter & LaCasse, 1955.
