Aedes clelandi

Aedes clelandi is a moderately sized species of mosquito in the genus Aedes. Larvae are found in open fresh clear water without vegetation, pools with grass and algae, and flooded rabbit burrows. Adults are known to bite humans during the day, generally between April and October. It is found in Western Australia and Flinders Island.
A. clelandi is regarded as an unlikely vector of myxomatosis.
