Aedes alboannulatus is a mosquito species of the genus Aedes that is native to Australia. This species breeds in rain filled pools, in open, sunlit, or forest areas. The eggs are resistant to drying out, often laid on the soil substrate of drying pools.[1]
Adults bite humans readily, usually at dusk or shaded areas during the day. Birds are also bitten by A. alboannulatus.[1]
