Aedes triseriatus, also known as Ochlerotatus triseriatus, is referred to as the North American tree hole mosquito. It is an aggressive, daytime-feeding mosquito, especially in and around infested woods. It is a known vector for the La Crosse encephalitis virus.
Tree holes may contain pools of stagnant rainwater, serving as excellent breeding sites for mosquito populations. Hardwood habitats are especially favored by Aedes triseriatus.
