'Aedes notoscriptus' from Jabiru this week. These guys always give me a scare as in this area they lack the additional lines on the scutum, and that really prominent central line. I put these on #inaturalist ion the #moziemonitors project 366327128 & 366327329

030

Stephen Fricker @stephenfricker.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

No not Aedes vigilax, this is 'Aedes phaecasiatus' from Nhulunbuy, NT species 120 on the #MozzieMonitors project on @inaturalist, and the only record of the species on the platform. While the two look similar to the trained eye they are quite distinct. www.inaturalist.org/observations...
