Default Re: Mosquito larvae swimming in my nep....

Someone asked this question to Dr. Charles Clark and Ch'ien Lee during the talks at the CP Competition in Penang and they told us that the mosquito species that lays its eggs in the pitcher fluid is a species that do not bite humans. The larva of the ones that do bite us and spread the dengue fever cannot survive in the acidic pithcer fluid.
