The mosquito goes through four separate and distinct stages of its life cycle: Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Adult. Each of these stages can be easily recognized by its special appearance. Egg: Eggs are laid one at a time or attached together to form "rafts." They float on the surface of the water.

Heya mate
The answer of ur question is
All mosquito species go through four distinct stages during their life cycle:
Egg - hatches when exposed to water. Larva - (plural: larvae) "wriggler" lives in water; molts several times; most species surface to breathe air. Pupa - (plural: pupae) "tumbler" does not feed; stage just before emerging as adult.
The mosquito life cycle is composed of four stages: eggs, larval, pupae and adult.
Stage 1: Eggs
Only female mosquitoes have the ability to lay eggs. In order to develop eggs, the female needs a blood meal. With each blood meal, the female can lay several hundred eggs. The eggs are laid in or around water and will attach to one another, forming a raft. Individual eggs will float independently. After 24 to 48 hours, the eggs will hatch and release larvae. ADAPCO carries a natural trap where the mosquito goes to lay her eggs and the eggs fall below a net and cannot successfully emerge as adult mosquitoes.
Stage 2: Larvae
Mosquitoes spend approximately seven days to complete development of the larval stage depending on food and temperature conditions. During this time, the water can be treated with different larvicides to prevent the larvae from going into the next stage
Stage 3: Pupae
A week to ten days after the eggs hatch, the larvae transform to pupae. At this time, they can breathe oxygen. However, they cannot feed (bite). Mosquitoes spend one to two days in the pupae stage. The water can still be treated during this stage and there are some products that provide quick mortality.
Stage 4: Adult
Once the mosquitoes have reached adulthood, they will feed on nectar; only the female mosquito will seek out a blood meal for reproduction. The adult mosquito lives for a period of six to eight weeks. A female will lay several batches of eggs during her life. Adult mosquitoes can be killed by spraying with handheld, backpack, truck mounted and even airplane sprayers. There are a variety of mosquito adulticides available containing different active ingredients. Chemicals should be rotated yearly so the mosquitoes do not build resistance to that active ingredient.
