Sweet and nutritive sugar solutions tend to enter the crop. (A) Percent of mosquitoes showing “meal in midgut only” (light blue) and “meal in crop (and midgut)” (light orange) under indicated feeding conditions. Numbers of fed mosquitoes for each condition are indicated to the right of the graph. Data in 1 M sucrose is from Fig. 2A. (B) Pie charts showing fractions of mosquitoes from A scored and color coded as in Fig. 1. (C) Distribution scores (see STAR METHODS) for results shown in B. (D) Percent of mosquitoes showing “meal in midgut only” (light blue) and “meal in crop (and midgut)” (light orange) under indicated feeding conditions. Numbers of fed mosquitoes for each condition are indicated to the right of the graph. (E) Pie charts showing fractions of mosquitoes from D scored and color coded as in Fig. 1. (F) Distribution scores (see STAR METHODS) for results shown in E. For all experiments, mosquitoes were starved for ~ 24 h with access to water prior to feeding on a membrane feeder with heat.
