In the warm season, the eggs hatch in about three days and begin to eat the tiny microorganisms and protozoa that grow in the water.

The lifespan of mosquitoes is about 7-10 days after mating in natural conditions, but in the laboratory can live up to 1-2 months. Female mosquitoes generally live for 1 to 2 months, and have lived up to 4 months in the laboratory.
