Mosquitos (Page 3)

 Clockwise from top:

1. Adult female.

2. Eggs cemented together to form a "raft" floating on the surface.

3. Larva suspended from the surface film by a siphon through which it breathes.

4. Pupa suspended similarly, but with two respiratory "trumpets".

5. Adult emerging from floating pupal skin.
