Aedes sticticus is an uncommon mosquito, although the species can be abundant along river floodlands. [1] It has been known to be responsible for human bites. Like all mosquitoes, it is only the females that bite.
Aedes sticticus has a very patchy but wide distribution in temperate parts of Europe, Asia and North America. It has an episodic and patchy distribution in Iowa and Wisconsin.
Not a huge amount is known of its life cycle. It is believed that they overwinter in the egg stage. [2]
