Culiseta is a
water wells and rock pools, and several Australian species occur under ground. Little is known about the blood-feeding habits of females. Most species feed on birds and mammals, but a few feed on reptiles. Several species attack domestic animals and occasionally humans,[4] and some species are pollinators.[5]
Culiseta species are found throughout the world, except in South America.[4] Two extinct species are known from the Eocene Kishenehn Formation in Montana[6]
