🦟 Mosquitoes are still going strong in late summer! As we head toward the end of summer, don’t assume mosquito season is finished. Warm temperatures, humidity, rainfall, and standing water can continue supporting mosquito activity around homes and businesses. The photos in this graphic highlight female Culex mosquitoes and their life cycle. Female Culex mosquitoes are the ones that bite people and animals because they need a blood meal to produce eggs. They lay their eggs on the surface of water, where the eggs form floating rafts that can contain 100–300 eggs. The larvae then hatch and develop in the water before eventually emerging as adult mosquitoes. Culex mosquitoes are generally most active from dusk to dawn and some species can transmit West Nile virus. 💧 Help reduce mosquito breeding opportunities by regularly checking your property for standing water in birdbaths, buckets, planters, gutters, toys, tires, and other water-holding areas.
