Ovitraps are used to monitor for the presence of Aedes mosquitoes in the San Gabriel Valley, California. Predacious insects are often found in ovitraps placed to capture Aedes mosquito eggs and may reduce the success of ovitraps. The purpose of this study was to identify possible predators of Aedes eggs within the San Gabriel Valley, California. This information can be used to determine if final egg counts may be influenced by predators in or around ovitraps. Pitfall traps were placed at various areas to determine the predacious insect species found in areas infested with Aedes mosquitoes.
