Wingbeat frequency may serve as a distinctive physical signature for identifying mosquito species. However, variation in wingbeat frequency within species may compromise reliability of wingbeat frequency-based mosquito identification. We examined the impact of mosquito density (number of females), time of day (day or night), gravid status, and age (days post-emergence) on the wingbeat frequency of three important vector mosquito species using infrared optical sensors. Wingbeat frequency of
