Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity at Sage Mountain

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Sage Mountain National Park. The park's dense tropical forest and frequent rainfall create ideal breeding sites. Key influences include:

Standing water in natural pools and tree holes
Warm temperatures ranging between 24°C and 30°C
Humidity levels above 70%

Additionally, the unique elevation of Sage Mountain affects mosquito density; higher altitudes generally see fewer mosquitoes, but the forest canopy retains moisture, sustaining their presence. Human activity, such as camping or hiking near water bodies, can also increase exposure. Learn more about how climate impacts mosquitoes on the CDC's Mosquito Ecology page.
