What is the life cycle of a mosquito?
There are four distinct stages in the mosquito life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid in or near water and hatch into larvae. The larval stage feeds on suspended organic material and a variety of small aquatic organisms. The pupae also are found in water, and this is the stage in which transformation from the larva to adult occurs. Adults emerge from pupae. Males feed on nectar and pollen. Females feed on nectar, pollen and blood from various hosts.
