The southern tropical counterpart to C. pipiens , this species a part of a complex that is found nearly globally, and is known from the Virgin Islands ( Bram 1967; Kenney et al. 2017). We found larvae in stagnant water in the bottoms of recycle bins on the University of the Virgin Islands campus, St. Thomas, and in dense leaf litter in the wetland area at the Spring Road ghut springhead. Larvae were also found in ornamental bromeliad phytotelmata from Crown Bay Commercial Area east and west.
