A flight mill system is described for the quantitative assessment of mosquito flight performance under controlled laboratory conditions. The system includes a device which insures uniform attachment and orientation of mosquitoes to flight mill arms. Attachment and orientation of the mosquito prior to flight are second in importance only to the over-all efficiency of the flight mill itself. Data-recording equipment accurately measures the distance flown, the flight duration, and the speed of mosquito flight. (Author)
