How long can mosquitoes live?

Under natural conditions, the life span of male mosquitoes after mating is about 7 ~ 10 days, but it can live to 1 ~ 2 months in the laboratory. Female mosquitoes can generally live for 1 to 2 months, and have lived in the laboratory for 4 months.

Breeding at 28℃ to 35℃ is extremely fast, so when summer comes, mosquitoes suddenly increase and even several generations overlap.

When the climate gets cold in autumn and the temperature drops below 10℃, mosquitoes will stop breeding and die in large numbers, and very few mosquitoes survive.

Extended data:

The life form of mosquitoes: Anopheles mosquitoes, like all mosquitoes, are completely metamorphosed and must go through four stages: egg, larva (larva), pupa and adult. Living in water for about 5- 14 days in the first three periods (depending on species, temperature also has an impact).

The adults of Anopheles mosquitoes are the hosts of many parasites, and they will spread parasites through the process of feeding (sucking blood). Female adults can live for about a month at the longest (maybe longer in the laboratory), but most of them can only live for 1-2 weeks under natural conditions.
