2D peak distribution graphs for the SNN model, showing the distribution of the two first (best separating) peaks using difference average peak statistics. a Ellipses represent the 95% confidence interval of the difference between the maximal and the minimal average peak areas/intensities for each reference mosquito egg class, Ae. aegypti (blue ellipse, X) and Ae. albopictus (orange ellipse, •). Classified spectra (black circles) are protein spectra identified to species level by the SNN algorithm, which are presented for three representative garages: garage 18 (b), which only had spectra corresponding to Ae. albopictus agreed with the conclusion drawn from emerged adult mosquitoes; garage 78 (c), which had co-existence of both species with a higher percentage of Ae. aegypti, agreed with corresponding emerged adult mosquitoes; and garage 27 (d), which had co-existence of both species due to a single spectrum identified as Ae. aegypti, contrary to the corresponding emerged adult mosquitoes, which concluded the presence of Ae. albopictus only. The rest of the classification graphs can be found in Additional file 2: Table S2
