Today, I finally found two male adult mosquitoes floating on the water surface in the rearing container. They appeared to have been dead for a while. The attached photos are not great, but I hope they show enough characters for an accurate identification. To me, the adults seem to be Aedes aegypti.
These photos were confirmed by the same UF Entomology Assistant Professor from my larvae submissions.
