Dragonfly and damselfly larvae have been considered as possible biocontrol agents against young instars of mosquito vectors in urban environments. Yet our knowledge about adult odonate predation against mosquito adults is scarce. We quantified daily and annual predation rates, consumption rates and prey preferences of adult Hetaerina vulnerata male damselflies in an urban park. A focus on predation of mosquito species was provided, quantified their arbovirus (dengue, chikungunya and Zika) infection rates and biting activity.

成年豆娘可能是城市地区蚊子数量的调节者

蜻蜓和豆娘幼虫已被认为是针对城市环境中蚊媒幼虫可能的生物防治剂。然而，我们对成虫成虫捕食蚊子成虫的知识很少。我们量化了城市公园中成年斑蝶雄性豆娘的每日和每年的捕食率、消费率和猎物偏好。提供了对蚊子物种捕食的关注，量化了它们的虫媒病毒（登革热、基孔肯雅热和寨卡病毒）感染率和叮咬活动。
