Mosquitoes undergo four life cycle stages: eggs laid on water, larvae that feed and grow, pupae that transform into adults, and finally, adult mosquitoes that emerge to reproduce, continuing the cycle.
Mosquitoes pass through four stages in their life cycle—egg, larva, pupa and adult. Explain.

Mosquitoes have a four-stage life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The female mosquito lays eggs on or near water, which hatch into larvae that live in water and feed on microorganisms. After several molts, the larvae transform into pupae, a resting stage where they undergo metamorphosis. Finally, adult mosquitoes emerge from the pupae. The adults are capable of flying and reproducing, with females requiring blood for egg production, thus continuing the cycle of life.
