Example of a set of images used for the identification exercise: plate MLS_L_10 used for larva identification and magnification showing discriminating characters (boxed in blue) such as head (A) and antenna (A’), thorax (B) with meso and metathorax with long stout spine, pointed and hooked at the tip (B’), abdominal segments VIII-X (C) with comb composed of 10 teeth with a long median spine and strong smaller spines at the basis (C’) and pecten with 15 evenly spaced teeth (C’’). This set of characters is typical of Aedes aegypti.
