One of the most distinctive, not to mention, annoying, sounds in the world is the high-pitched whine of a mosquito flying around your head. Just reading that description of it has probably triggered a memory of the sound in your mind. Can you hear it? Sure you can. The only thing worse than hearing it in your imagination is hearing it in your backyard when you’re trying to enjoy yourself.
蚊子叮咬是讨厌自己,but mankind has also known for a long time that mosquitoes carry diseases. That means the itching from a mosquito bite could be a harbinger of worst things to come.
今天，我们将看看小怪物的生活，他们的生命周期，他们喜欢居住的地方，如何“清理沼泽”，并采取其他预防措施在他们失控之前消除它们。
有很多信息要涵盖，所以让我们开始吧！
What Is This Mosquito Life Cycle?
You can’t really talk about the life cycle of mosquitoes without also talking about their habitat, so let’s do that first.
首先，蚊子和水
像水这样的蚊子, specifically, they like stale stagnant water that is turning green around the edges. Standing puddles of water in the yard or your neighbor’s yard could be a perfect breeding ground for them.
涉水不经常清空的涉水游泳池比您想象的要快，变成蚊帐的速度。同样的事情也适用于没有经常有水的鸟桶。蚊子是蚊子繁殖的主要位置，在您家中被堵塞的水沟。
Mosquitoes react to rapidly running water the way Dracula reacts to sunlight. Moving water is hazardous to their eggs and larva. It also interferes with the growth of their main food source during that stage of their life – algae.
蚊子在其生命周期中经历了四个阶段，其中三个需要停滞的水。满足要求的任何地方都将维持它们。
蚊子有四个阶段的生命周期: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The adults are obvious – they’re the ones whining in your ear trying to bite you. The other stages, not so much.
孵化的蚊子被称为幼虫。
蚊子幼虫也被称为摇摆人，因为那是他们游泳的方式。

Stage 1: Mosquito Eggs
蚊子卵通常在经常洪水泛滥的地区产生。雌性将鸡蛋放在普通水线上方，直到周期性的洪水之一用水覆盖它们，然后他们孵化出来，并将其数字添加到已经正常孵化的洪水中。顺便说一句，这些鸡蛋可以生存几年，等待洪水。
Most mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water. The females can lay up to two hundred eggs at a time, all of which will hatch within 24-48 hours. This is why wading pools have to be emptied the moment they’re not being used anymore. Otherwise, mosquitoes could be hatching in it over the weekend.
Stage 2: Mosquito Larva
孵化的蚊子被称为幼虫。蚊子幼虫也被称为摇摆人，因为那是他们游泳的方式。他们在以微观细菌为食的水中游泳，每次经历四个生长阶段（称为INST）。在此期间，他们必须有空气才能呼吸。

阶段3：蚊子
The next stage is the pupa or tumbler. This is a transitional stage where they are molting into a fully formed adult. They don’t eat during this stage. They merely tumble in the water around to avoid predators. Within 24-48 an adult will emerge and fly away.
Stage 4: Adult Mosquitoes
男性蚊子只活了一周左右。一旦他们与女性交配，他们死了。雌性在那之后生活了四到五个星期，产生了多批鸡蛋。女性是在您的头上飞来飞去并咬您的人。从头到尾，整个过程大约需要7-10天。
Mosquitoes prefer to nest in tall grass, shrubs, and low hanging tree branches. If you have any of those in your yard, the adult mosquitoes will rest there at night or between feedings.
Mosquito Food Sources To Note
The adult malemosquitoes need sweet sugary fluids and nectar去吃。除了草，宽阔的草坪基本上是他们的沙漠。他们必须去其他地方寻找食物。
奇怪的是，女性需要同样的事情。只有在他们交配之后，他们才需要蛋白质才能开始产卵。不幸的是，您已经知道他们从哪里获得蛋白质 - 您的血液。无论您身在何处，他们都是。
Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with amosquito在房间里。

关于蚊子寿命的最终想法
在夏季温暖的地方，蚊子居住了约五到六个星期，但天气足够温暖的任何时候都可以生存。
换句话说，它们不是季节性的害虫。如果您住在美国南部，您可以看到并听到蚊子每年365天。使他们远离您，您的财产将是不间断的职业。
