Ovarian development 96 h post-emergence in anautogenous and autogenous Culex pipiens females. Photos of the dissected ovaries of different females are presented. Autogenous (a unmated, b mated) and anautogenous (c unmated, d mated) females are easily distinguishable when none had access to a blood meal: the follicules in autogenous females are more developed (i.e. bigger and longer) than those in anautogenous females (i.e. round and smaller), with mating having only limited visible effects. mg, midgut; ov, ovary
