From: Vertical stratification of Culicoides biting midges at a Florida big game preserve
Vertical distribution, physiological status and host use of Culicoides. Parous and nulliparous groups were combined to account for difficulties in identifying parity in C. venustus. Treemaps represent the results of blood-meal analysis for that species in the ground and canopy traps each year. Only the three most commonly collected species are represented. The proportions of physiological statuses were significantly different in canopy versus ground traps for all species shown at P = 0.05. Private big game preserve, Gadsden Co. FL, 2016 and 2017
