Uranotaenia sapphirina is a species of mosquito in the family Culicidae.[1][2][3] It is a common species found throughout eastern North America. Uranotaenia sapphirina was found from an experiment to be unlike Uranotaenia lowii which feeds only on anurans (frogs and toads), instead feeding exclusively on annelid hosts such as earthworm and leeches.[4]
