Index value remarks：

Colour	Gravidtrap Index	Density Index
Green：Level I	Gravidtrap Index < 5.0% [indicates that the distribution of Aedes albopictus is not extensive]	1.0 ≤ Density Index ≤ 1.5 [Aedes albopictus is not abundant in the locations with positive Gravidtraps]
Yellow：Level II	5.0% ≤ Gravidtrap Index < 20.0% [indicates that the distribution of Aedes albopictus is fairly extensive]	1.6 ≤ Density Index ≤ 2.4 [Aedes albopictus is slightly abundant in the locations with positive Gravidtraps]
Red：Level III	20.0% ≤ Gravidtrap Index < 40.0% [indicates that the distribution of Aedes albopictus is extensive]	Density Index ≥ 2.5 [Aedes albopictus is abundant in the locations with positive Gravidtraps]
Purple：Level IV	Gravidtrap Index ≥ 40.0% [indicates that the distribution of Aedes albopictus is very extensive]
