Mosquitoes were distinguished based on the examination of the ordered keys and Culexquinquefasciatus mosquitoes were copiously accessible in nearly all chosen ponder destinations. In arrange to discover out oviposition inclination, gravid female Culexquinquefasciatus were permitted to oviposit in ovitraps with diverse concentrations of NaCl, totally different colouredovitraps, in water from distinctive sources, in hatchling holding water and completely different measured ovitraps. Comes about of research facility oviposition bioassays appeared that the number of egg flatboats laid by gravid Culexquinquefasciatus steadily diminished with increment in NaCl concentration. When gravid mosquitoes were permitted for oviposition totally different coloured ovitrap, black ovitraps was found to be the foremost favored colour by this mosquito species. Water tests collected from diverse sources were utilized within the ovitraps to get it the ovi position preference of this mosquito species. Water collected from paddy field was found to be the foremost favored water among all other water test studied.
