How do you look after four times shedding your skin

An adult female mosquito lays her eggs on the water surface. This can be in a ditch, in pools in the floodplains, in a pond or in the rain barrel. Each species has its own preference. The number of eggs that are laid is very different from species to species and can be up to 300 at a time. After a few days, the larvae crawl out of the egg. These larvae feed on algae, microbes and other substances in the water.

After four times shedding the skin, the larva becomes a pupa. Depending on the temperature, this will take a few days to a few weeks. Then the skin of the pupa opens and the adult male or female mosquito crawls onto the water surface. When the wings are dried and the blood of the mosquito flows in all veins, the mosquito flies away.
