What is the life cycle of mosquitoes ?
Males typically live for around 7 days while females can survive for 4-5 months and are capable of hibernation. Larvae turn into pupae after about 7 days. After 2 days to 1 week, these pupae develop into adults, which emerge through a T-shaped hole in the back of the pupa and are able to fly and feed after 24 hours. The female adults bite and feed on the host blood then lay eggs in water. They then seek a new blood meal.
