Yellow Fever Mosquito
Species principle: Human Shadow
Live where opportunity already lives.
The environment someone else builds can become your niche.
Aedes aegypti is unusually associated with humans: females preferentially seek human hosts in many populations, larvae readily develop in artificial water-holding containers, and adults occupy houses, gardens and dense settlements. Instead of depending only on undisturbed natural habitat, the mosquito repeatedly exploits structures and resources that human activity recreates for it.
