What is the mosquito life cycle?

Knowing something about the mosquito life cycle can seize you to prevent them from reproducing in the backyard. The mosquito passes through "complete" metamorphosis, which means that they are eggs, larva, navel and finally an adult. Depending on the type, climate, season, blood availability and temperature, mosquitoes will take anywhere from a week to a month to complete its metamorphosis. After a large blood, an adult woman puts this dose of eggs in stagnant water. Suitable water sources could be a sewer, moat, puddles, bird bird, tracker, rain gutter, untreated swimming pool, water fountain or even tidal pools. White eggs incubate for 1-6 days before hatching into the spray larva. They enjoy light, heat and air near the surface. Now, mosquitoes eat pieces of food such as rotting leaves, animals or waste water to give them strength to melt four times. Every time it melts, it gets rid of its small, tight layers of the skin and appear slightly larger. Pupae have larger heads and a small tail so it is nicknamed tumblery. They will also remain underwater, yet air breathes. Small tubes, called siphons, reach the lungs to break the surface of water as miniature snorkels. They develop wings without food another meal.

A few days later, the larvae float to the top of the water and balance on their feet to stay in the outdoor air. Here the wings will dry out and solidify the exoskeleton in preparation for the flight. They're adults. They will live for one to three weeks, completely above the water. Females live 2-3 times longer than men, because the thaw could be laid, they have to eat more blood.

female mosquitoes suck the blood of people, cows, sheep, horses, birds and even amphibians to build enough nutrients for laying eggs. However, males only drink plant nectar. A woman can lay several lots of eggs, 10-14 days apart before she dies. Then the cycle repeats itself.
