Aedes aurifer were collected for the 1st time in Madison County, KY, during a survey of adult female mosquitoes in the summer of 2016. A total of 15 Ae. aurifer females were captured from 4 survey sites during the months of July and August. Twelve of the Ae. aurifer specimens collected were captured in BG-1 Sentinel™ Traps baited with carbon dioxide, octenol, and BG-human skin extract lure®, while the other 3 specimens were captured with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Miniature Light Traps baited with carbon dioxide and octenol. This is the 1st published record of Ae. aurifer in Kentucky.
