The feeding habits of A. albopictus were studied during 1968 and 1969 on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. The results indicated that A. albopictus commonly feeds on a variety of hosts including man, buffalo, pig, dog, and chicken. Specimens were captured in coconut plantations, a fruit orchard, and a forested area. The results also suggest that the host species used rank in attractiveness to A. albopictus as follows: (1) human, (2) pig, (3) and (4) buffalo and dog, and (5) chicken.
