Hello everyone
Today is very nice and beautiful day I hope everybody is doing great. Today I want to demonstrate a very nice experiment about about the life cycle of mosquito and I hope you are all going to love it.
The mosquito goes through four separate and distinct stages of it life cycle: Egg, larva, pupa , and adult.each of these stages can be easily recognised by its special appearance.
EGG: eggs are laid one at a time or attached together to form rafts. They float on the surface of the water. in the case of Culex and Culiesta species, the eggs are stuck together in rafts of up to 200. Anopheles, ochlerotatus, and Aedes, as well as many other genera, do not make egg rafts, but lay their eggs singly. Culex, culiseta, and anopheles lay their eggs on the water surface while many Aedes and ochlerotatus lay their eggs on damp soil that will be flooded by water most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours others might withstand subzero winter before hatching. Water is necessary part of their habitat.
.
LARVA: the larva (plural-larvae) lives in the water and comes to the surface of breathe. larvae shed (molt) their skins four times, growing larger after each molt. most larva have siphon tubes for breathing and hang upside down from the water surface. Anopheles larva do not have a siphon and lie parellel to the water surface to get a supply of oxygen through a breathing opening.
PUPA: the pupal stage is a resting , non feeding stage of development, but pupae are mobile, responding to light changes and moving with a flip of their tails towards the bottom or protective areas. This is the time the mosquito changes into adult
ADULT: the newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time to allow itsself to dry and all it body parts to harden. Wings have to spread out and dry properly before it can fly.
VERY MUCH GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME FOR VIEWING
