Editor’s summary
A square of four e-nets with yellow sticky boards as a collection device can be used for quantifying the numbers of mosquitoes approaching a small oviposition site. Shiny sticky surfaces attract gravid females possibly because they are visually mistaken as aquatic habitats. These materials might be developed further as gravid traps.

Editor’s summary
This study tackles an interesting and important question regarding the biology of the mosquitoes, Anopheles arabiensis and An. pharoensis, human malaria vectors in Africa. Through a comparative study using various trapping devices and arrangements, the authors provide new insights into the definition of the loosely-understood concept of “anthropophily”.
