Airman 1st Class Stephen Nicer, 96th Aerospace Medicine Squadron public health technician, places a tissue to cover the mosquito specimens in a petri dish July 20 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Mosquitoes are trapped weekly to establish baseline mosquito catch counts for several base locations. This helps the 96th Civil Engineer Group’s Pest Management Division determine the effectiveness of their mosquito control methods. The mosquito specimens are also packaged, labeled and shipped to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where they are studied and tested for viruses. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ilka Cole)
