Mosquitoes are blood sucking insects that are responsible for
the transmission of many diseases. Within Australia there are
more than 300 different species of mosquito. Several important
human diseases are transmitted by these insects including
Dengue fever, Australian encephalitis, Ross River virus disease
and Barmah Forest virus disease. Mosquitoes also cause
lifestyle problems, through their persistent biting spoiling
recreational and social activities.
Biting midges or sandflies as they are called in Australia are
small robust insects with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
These small flies are renowned for their nuisance biting in
coastal areas around lagoons, estuaries, mangrove swamps and
tidal flats. The biting activity of adult is mainly limited to the
periods of dawn and dusk; they will remain inactive through
very windy weather, Female midges may attack humans in
large numbers, biting on any areas of exposed skin, and often
on the face, scalp and hands..
Non-biting flies are often associated with domestic dwellings,
especially throughout the warmer months when they bred
prolifically, invading homes. Non-biting Australian flies contain
many species that are responsible for contamination and
spoilage of foodstuffs, annoyance, mechanical transmission of
disease-causing pathogens, and invasion of living tissues
(myiasis). Collectively known as "filth flies", they are distributed
throughout the families of Calliphoridae (blow flies),
Sarcophagidae (flesh flies) and Muscidae (house flies).
In Australia, there are over 10,000 species of moths. Most of
the Caterpillars are the larvae of moths. The caterpillars feed
at night and chew plants off at ground level. During the day,
the caterpillars hide under clods of dirt or litter on the soil.
Army Worm is a grass eating caterpillar that moves through
the lawn like a raiding army and can reduce grass leaves to
tattered shreds almost overnight. Cutworms are caterpillar
pests that cause damage to crops and are a major problem for
agricultural and horticultural industries of Australia
