The presence of larvae of Aedes aegypti is reported in an unusual deposit to carry out the egg-laying: pots of ornamental plants. These deposits of variable diameters and with earth bottom, are used to sow plants with diverse uses on the part of the family, which cannot be flamed, neither are generally abatized on the part of the specialized personnel of the vectors control net-work. However, the presence of larvae of Ae. aegypti in these deposits, is derived apparently of the intensive and extensive actions that are conducted in the health area attended by the University Polyclinic "Ignacio Agramonte" of Camagüey, therefore important, interesting behavioral modifications are operating in the vector that should be taking into account during the housings and locals inspection.
