The inactive stage in the life cycle of insects, marks the stage where there is limited or no activity by the organism. It is marked by reduced or lack of biochemical reactions, eating and movement.
The inactive stages of insects usually occur in the form of concealment, most of the time pupal stage where the insect undergoes metamorphosis.
In the life cycle of a mosquito, the pupal stage is marked by not feeding but the pupa are able to move about. The pupa move in a tumbling swimming motion, and it is for this reason that they are called tumblers.
The egg is most likely is the inactive stage in the mosquito, where the eggs experience very little activity. Mosquito eggs can lay dormant in stagnant waters for close to 10-15 years with no activity.
