Question

How many degrees of freedom a mosquito has? Explain

Answer 1

You may not know this, but mosquitoes live 3 of their 4 life cycle stages in water.  The adult female mosquito deposits her egg is still water or areas that are frequently flooded.  These eggs hatch and the mosquito larvae mature into pupae.  Finally, the pupa emerges from the water as an adult, and in many cases, waits around for a mate to emerge.  These stages can be completed in as little as 7-10 days.  

The trick is to do a thorough inspection around your home.  Standing water is the perfect place for a mosquito to safely lay her eggs.  During your inspection, look for items that hold water easily.  These can be pots, tires, buckets, toys, bird baths, full gutters, and much more.  When you locate these water collectors, make sure and empty the water immediately.  In the event that your gutters are full, get them cleaned as soon as possible.  Also, if you have a bird bath, it is a good idea to refresh the water once a week.
