Mosquitoes start their life in water, where their eggs are laid on floating rafts. The larvae that emerge feed on organic material in the water as they develop into pupae. Days later, an adult mosquito emerges from the water, waits for its wings to dry, and flies away.
Scientific name: Culicidae
Characteristics:
- Mosquitoes undergo a radical transformation, passing through three of the four stages living in water.
- As adults, only females drink blood, while males are only interested in mating.
Size and color: These flexible figures show how mosquitoes progress through distinctly different stages. The adult measures 10.1 cm from tip to tip of its wings, thus all the details are magnified.
