North Carolina, USA. The attractancy of domestic animals (Japanese Quail, white rat, White Leghorn chicken and New Zealand white rabbit) was determined using animal-baited traps in a Latin square experimental design. Paired comparisons of domestic animals with wild live-trapped animals from the marsh (Hispid Colton Rat. Mallard Duck, Virginia Opossum, Raccoon and Marsh Rice Rat) were made using the same type of traps. In general, the degree of attractiveness of the animals to C. furens and C. hollensis was related more to the size of the animal than to the kind of animal. There were little differences in the attractancy of domestic and wild animals, It was concluded that C. furens and C. hollensis have a wide host range and should not be classified as either ornithophilic or mammalophilic, Catches of Culicoides by animal-baited traps were poorly correlated with catches in nearby emergence and sticky cylinder traps.}, number={5-6}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={KOCH, HG and AXTELL, RC}, year={1979}, pages={494–499} }

Hollensis was monitored during peak seasonal abundance near salt marsh breeding sites by hourly collections with suction traps. Both species had 2 crepuscular peaks of activity. C. furens was mostly nocturnal, with a large peak of activity immediately after sunset; C. Hollensis was mostly diurnal with a large morning peak. Males accounted for only 9% of the C. furens and 3% of the C. Hollensis total catches. Wind (velocity and direction) and temperature were continuously measured during the hours of suction trap operation and correlated with insect capture. C. furens activity was correlated with wind velocity. C. Hollensis activity was correlated with wind direction and temperature. Many more C. furens specimens were trapped in the marsh than in the adjacent wooded area; C. Hollensis adults were trapped about equally in the 2 areas. C. furens remained active throughout the day in the wooded area but not in the marsh.}, number={5-6}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={KOCH, HG and AXTELL, RC}, year={1979}, pages={500–505} }
