Mosquito Identification and Specimen Network
Welcome!
Collaboration when encountering a new or unknown specimen through vector surveillance can be very helpful.
Neighboring mosquito control districts can be alerted and on the lookout for mosquitoes of concern and members of the group can assist with identification when the need arises. You may find yourself in need of specimens for teaching, training, or research. This is an excellent resource for acquiring material for those working collections and making professional connections with colleagues.
