The Cyclopoida are small crustaceans from the subclass Copepoda. Similar copepods, members of Cyclopoida are small, planktonic animals living in the freshwater and  sea habitats. They are  characterized by their  rapid movement. Their larval development is metamorphic, and their embryos are  in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite. Recently those are attracted as Effective Green solution for Mosquito vector control. They are selectively feed on Aedes aegypti larvae.
