species. The variables included in the analysis were: 1) Mean September temperature (prior to sampling), 2) Mean October temp, 3) Mean November temp., 4) Mean December temp, 5) Cumulative rainfall until October, 6) Rainfall of sampled month, 7) Rainfall over the year, and 8) Number of rainy days (from September to sampling date). The regression model that best adjusted for D. maculipennis included variables 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8. While it was observed that all variables significantly affected density, some coefficient variables resulted near to zero and dependence between them was observed. According to ANCOVA, significant differences between the samples of 2008 and 2010 occurred. The variables that better explained the observed density increase for D. maculipennis were the accumulated rainfall in the year (p
