• Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult or imago. In most species, adult females lay their eggs in standing water; some lay eggs near the water's edge; others attach their eggs to aquatic plants. Each species selects the situation of the water into which it lays its eggs and does so according to its own ecological adaptations. Some are generalists and are not very fussy. Some breed in lakes, some in temporary puddles. Some breed in marshes, some in salt-marshes. Among those that breed in salt water, some are equally at home in fresh and salt water up to about one third the concentration of seawater, whereas others must acclimatise themselves to the saltiness.

    Are you saying you have puddles in your house? Are you sure you are not assisting their breeding? You claim to be the owner of this colony and the subsequent reproduction, but at the same time I assume you do not have salty puddles in your living room?

    I smell scam, sorry, I'm going to have to report you.
