Aedes scapularis is a species of mosquito primarily found in neo-tropical regions of the Americas.

[2] Aedes scapularis has been recorded throughout neo-tropical regions of the western hemisphere.

Larval specimens were reported in the Florida Keys in 1945, and in 2020 the species was reported as being endemic in Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida.

[7] It is known to bite humans and can carry a number of diseases, including yellow fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and other human pathogens.

[3] In 2021, authorities in southeastern Florida stated that, although it has become established there, this species of mosquito is not considered a vector of concern for disease in humans nor other animals,[8] as the diseases it can transmit are not endemic to that area.
