For the simultaneous visualization of hemolymph flow through the heart and ventral
abdominal contractions, as well as the quantification of hemolymph flow speeds in the lateral abdomen, mosquitoes were restrained laterally by placing pins: (1) on either side of the cervical membrane such that they crossed dorsally and restrained the mosquito between the pins and the Sylgard; (2) through non-vascular portions of each wing after they had been teased away
from the
abdominal tergum; (3) between the wings and the anterior portion of the abdomen; (4) over the legs, entering the Sylgard posterior to the third leg pair; and (5) immediately dorsal of the longitudinal midline of the scutum (Figure 1B).
However, in general, the periodic discharge of hemolymph
from the heart and into the posterior abdomen during periods of retrograde heart
contractions results in net anterograde hemolymph flow in the extracardiac
abdominal hemocoel (Videos S2 and S3).
