Abstract
The existence of plants in house yard is an important factor for the survival of Aedes. House yard plants could be the places where mosquitoes carry out eating and resting activities. It is important to investigate the matter to find out about mosquitoes’ bioecology in the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the species of house yard plant that were selected by Aedes for eating and resting activities. This was an explorative survey using 50 house yards. The result showed that at the Kopelma Village there were 2 species of Aedes found in house yard plant that were Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The mosquitoes were found at 6 house yard plant species that were Mangifera indica, Annona muricata, Pteridium aquilinum, Ixora sp., Plumeria sp., and Murraya sp.
