Distribution J&K to Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Gujarat, WestBihar and West Bengal in the east, Karnataka,Goa, AP, UP, Orissa, Delhi, Haryana, MP,Maharashtra; uncommon in north-east2. Larval habitat Wide range: Usually breeds in water not rich inorganic matter – Irrigation channels, river bedpools, tanks, ponds, sometimes in rice fields,irrigation wells, and even brackish water, hoofmarks and cart tracks. (wheel ruts) rain watercollection in borrow pits along rail canal & road,rock pools.3. Resting habitat Predominantly indoor rester – cattle sheds andhuman dwellings. Prefer cool with lowdisturbance places. Some may rest outdoorsafter spray.4. Biting time 1 ½ hours after dusk. Peak 10.30 pm.-12.30am5. Feeding habits Mainly zoophilic – Indiscriminate feeder at highdensityAn. fluviatilisSouthern States, Western India, Punjab, Delhi,J&K, H.P., U.P., Bihar and Orissa, A.P.
