Hello everybody, I am not a specialist and I want test the effect of some substances on mosquitoes and flies but I have no idea how can I get them and how to keep them alive for treatment?
Thanks in advance
It depends on what kind of experiments you want to do and on what life stage you are interested in. You can collect mosquito larvae and keep them in a humid environment until they emerge as adults. I would suggest contacting any entomologist and discussing your experimental plan with him/her.
What is the nature of substances you want to test and what life stage are in you interested in testing them on?
It also depends on the mosquitoe's type. All these could actually be sorted out if you contact a medical entomologist or anyone working on mosquitoes.
