Mosquitoes are annoying, and can be deadly, but they can also be beautiful. A
Guide to Mosquitoes of Australia explores the biodiversity of this fascinating
group of insects. It provides a pictorial guide to almost 100 mosquito species
and includes notes on their biology, habitats and association with disease. They
are found in almost every type of environment, from pristine wetlands to
polluted drains and from coastal saltmarshes to snow melt streams. Australia has
a diverse range of mosquitoes and although relatively few pose a serious health
risk, public health is an important issue. This book provides information on how
to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne disease through tips on keeping your home
free of mosquitoes and reducing their bites when you are out and about in the
Australian environment. Recipient of a 2016 Whitley Award commendation for
