Amount of food and average instar duration of <em>An. dirus</em> and <em>An. minimus </em>larvae fed using AFRIMS spoons or the salt shaker.

Length of time to pupation for <em>An. dirus</em> and <em>An. minimus</em> from larvae fed using AFRIMS spoons or the salt shaker. Mean values followed by the same letter are not significantly different from one another (<em>P</em>>0.05, Tukey’s honestly significant test).

Weight of food debris obtained from the larval rearing water. Mean values followed by the same letter are not significantly different from one another (<em>P</em>>0.05, Tukey’s honestly significant test).
