Dataset for mosquito collections on Big Pine Key, Florida, USA

The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District has deployed dry ice-baited light traps to monitor mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) populations throughout the Florida Keys starting in 1998. American Biophysics Company traps were deployed throughout the year at the same collection point. Traps were placed in the late afternoon and collected the following morning. Common mosquitoes are the black salt marsh mosquito, Aedes taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann), the crabhole mosquito, Deinocerites cancer Theobald, the Bahamian Culex, Culex bahamensis Dyar and Knab, and Anopheles atropos Dyar and Knab.
