Compared to other container breeding mosquitoes, the Asian bush mosquito is found in water-filled containers which show a cooler water temperature and that are partially or fully shaded . This is reflected by eq. 1 in Briere et al.  which we found to be the best model to explain larval performance in this species. This model shows exponential growth of cumulative female survival at low temperatures which increases until the optimum temperature and sharply decreases to the lethal thermal maximum temperature. In addition, adult females are found in higher abundances in autumn than in summer , the proportion of immature stages of the Asian bush mosquito is higher in October than in September compared to the Asian tiger mosquito Ae. albopictus  and adult as well as immature stages show broader seasonal activity periods than other species of Aedes/Ochlerotatus . Its phenology of rapid population increase in early spring may hold a developmental advantage over other container-inhabiting mosquitoes [35, 64].
