The given diagram shows the various stages involved in the life cycle of the female mosquito.
Overall, the lifespan of the female mosquito lasts between 6 to 8 weeks. The process consists of several stages, beginning with eggs and ending with a fully grown adult mosquito.
To begin, the cycle starts in week 1 when the eggs are laid. In week 2, the first larval stage begins. Over the third and fourth weeks, it goes through the second and third larval stages. It is important to note that these stages happen in water, and the larva gets larger by shedding its skin, which is called molting.
In week 5, it reaches the fourth larval stage and grows even bigger. After that, week 6 starts. In this week, the larva changes into the pupal stage. Finally, in the last two weeks (week 7 and 8), it transforms into an actual adult mosquito.
