Eggs are laid one at a time and they float on the
surface of water. Most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours. Larva lives in the water and come to the surface to
breathe. The pupa stage is a resting, non0feeding stage. This is the
time the mosquito turns into an adult. The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time
to allow itself to dry and all its parts to harden before it can fly.
