Mosquito Life Cycle (about ten times actual size)

The type of standing water in which the mosquito chooses to lay her eggs depends
upon the species. The presence of beneficial predators such as fish and dragonfly
nymphs in permanent ponds, lakes, and streams usually keep these bodies of water
relatively free of mosquito larvae. However, portions of marshes, swamps, clogged
ditches and temporary pools and puddles are all prolific mosquito breeding sites.
Other sites in which some species lay their eggs include tree holes and containers
such as old tires, buckets, toys, potted plant trays and saucers and plastic covers
or tarpaulins. Some of the most annoying and potentially dangerous mosquito species,
such as the Asian tiger mosquito, come from these sites.
