Mosquitoes-Did you Know?
They can complete their life cycle in as little as 8 to 10 days

Eggs may be laid in dry locations that are subject to periodic flooding and remain dormant for many months

Adult males feed only on nectar, plant juices and other sources of liquid carbohydrates

Adult females feed periodically on nectar, plant juices, and other
sources of plant carbohydrates.  However, females of most other
species require a blood meal as a source of protein before they
produce eggs.
