Bromeliad Mosquito
Wyeomyia vanduzeei is a mosquito species in the family Culicidae, first described by Dyar and Knab in 1906. It is commonly known as the bromeliad mosquito, reflecting its association with bromeliad plants. The species has been demonstrated experimentally to serve as a host for Plasmodium hermani, a malaria parasite of wild turkeys. Its distribution includes the Caribbean and North America.
