Understanding Mosquito Habits and Life Cycle
Mosquitoes have 4 life stages, eggs, larvae, pupae and adults
Mosquitoes are active at dawn and dusk and can gee on multiple hosts, including but no limited to humans and pets.
Females lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch in 1 to 3 days, and the emerging larvae will go through 4 molts, which can last from 7 days to several weeks.
The pupal stage or tumbler sate can take between 2 days or up to a few weeks. During the 4th molt, the pupal skin splits and the adults emerge.
While adult females require a blood meal to produce eggs, males primarily feed on plant nectar.
Females live 1 to 2 months during warm weather and as long as 6 month in cold weather.
Males live for 6 to 7 days.
