Cover Story: The mosquito life cycle evolves through four distinct stages: Egg (two days), Larva (four to fourteen days), Pupa (two to four days), and Adult (males live one week, and females live around six weeks). The above data on the stages vary according to the various mosquito species and the particular environment conditions. View this paper.
