About the mosquito![]() The adults have scales fringing their wings and also along the veins. The antennae of the males are plumage (feather-like) and very noticeable. The winter is passed as the egg, larva or adult, according to the species concerned. The eggs may be laid singly, in small clusters or in masses often called "rafts" on the surface of standing water or even on the ground, hatching in the latter case after rains or the melting of the snow in spring. The number of eggs laid by one insect varies in different species but probably averages several hundred. Read more in mosquito larva. |
