The main victims of their at- tack are birds, more rarely wild mammals; sometimes attack man near their breeding sites. The preimaginal stages are fairly eurytopic but more confined to the open, rather small, unshaded water pools with isothermal or moderately hypothermal range, oligo-, more rarely jS-mesosaprobic water, relatively rich in hydroflora. Polycyclic with larval hibernation; sometimes hibernating females noticed. 19b.
