Abstract:
Eggs of Culex (Melanoconion) Grupo Pilosus were found in three oviposition traps set in the toilet of a Bus Station in Joinville city, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, during a surveillance study of Aedes aegypti. The intrinsic characteristic of group oviposition not directly on the water was confirmed.

Osmoregulation in Insects
Malpighian tubules are specialized structures found in the digestive systems of many arthropods, including most insects, that handle excretion and osmoregulation. The tubules are typically arranged in pairs and have a convoluted structure that increases their surface area.
Pollination and Flower Structure
Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.
