All mosquitoes undergo metamorphosis, passing through four distinct stages during their lives: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The entire mosquito lifecycle takes about a month. Here's a rundown of the various stages.
Egg. After the female mosquito eats a blood meal, she lays her eggs on or near water or damp soil. Depending on the mosquito species, the eggs are laid singly or side by side, sticking together to form rafts that float on the water's surface. A raft can contain anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs.
Larvae. Within a week, the eggs hatch in water, becoming mosquito larvae called "wigglers." A mosquito larva looks like a small hairy worm, less than a 1/4-inch long. It has a hard round head, a soft body, an abdomen with 10 segments and a siphon tube at the tip of its abdomen.
Mosquito larvae live in water for four to 14 days or longer, depending on the water temperature, hanging upside-down near the water's surface. Mosquito larvae come to the surface to breathe through a siphon tube that pokes through the water like a snorkel
