Which of the following accurately describes Aedes aegypti mosquitoes?

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are indeed recognized for their distinct black and white patterned appearance, which sets them apart from other mosquito species. This visual characteristic makes them easier to identify in the field. The black and white markings on their legs and the markings on their bodies serve not only as identification features for entomologists and pest control professionals but also highlight their adaptability and evolutionary traits that may assist in their survival and reproduction.

In contrast, while West Nile virus is associated with other mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti does not play a significant role in its transmission. Its primary breeding habitats include artificial containers and standing water rather than exclusively aquatic habitats. Additionally, Aedes aegypti typically feed on human blood rather than primarily on animal blood, making their feeding behavior a crucial aspect of their role in transmitting diseases such as dengue fever and Zika virus.
