The diel pattern of oviposition of Aedes albopictus derived from Singapore was studied in
the laboratory by recording the performance of individual females at two-hour intervals.
Oviposition was almost exclusively diurnal, about 98% of eggs being laid during the full
photophase, and the rest during the 30-minute evening 'twilight'and the first 30 minutes of
the scotophase. A large, well defined peak of oviposition (comprising about 56% of eggs
laid) occurred during the two hours before sunset. Nulliparous females allowed to engorge …

Nulliparous females allowed to engorge on human blood matured on average about 95 follicles (range 51–138).
