The Sources of Energy for Flight in Mosquitoes

A. N. CLEMENTS 1

1 Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge

Glycogen was found to disappear from the fat body during flight in the mosquito Culex pipiens form berbericus Roubaud, while no change was observed in the fat deposits. The fat body reserves were able to sustain a flight of considerable length and ingested blood could also be used as a source of flight energy.
