Sampling of the surface microlayer of water in a marsh habitat ofAnopheles quadrimaculatusSay in Michigan revealed it to be enriched with bacteria compared with subsurface water samples. Concentrations of total numbers of bacteria ranged from 18.8 × 106/ml to 65.4 × 106/ml (mean, 35.9 × 106/ml;n= 13) in surface microlayer samples, and from 3.8 × 106/ml to 14.3 × 106/ml (mean, 7.8 × 106/ml;n= 13) in subsurface samples. Specifically, the surface microlayer had higher concentrations of three morphotypes of bacteria (cocci, rods, and rods attached to detritus particles). Given that bacteria are an important food of mosquito larvae, we suggest that the interfacial feeding behavior ofAn. quadrimaculatuslarvae allows them to exploit the surface microlayer, a food-rich zone.
