Abstract
In this thesis I demonstrate distinct thermal preferences in mosquitoes and biting midges across various environments, challenging previous assumptions. This preference is not just shown in adult mosquitoes but also in larvae, where light has a significant influence on microhabitat selection. Additionally, thermal preferences change based on selection and rearing temperatures. In the context of infections, mosquitoes alter their thermal preferences, preferring warmer or cooler temperatures depending on the pathogen. These adaptations
