Mosquito Life Cycle

We've had a lot of mosquito larvae in our make-shift frog/toad habitat.  We watched a fascinating,  informative video about the mosquito's life cycle here.  We didn't know that the mosquito larvae breathe through a tube at the surface of the water.  Also we learned that mosquito eggs can live through the winter and hatch in the spring.

Meanwhile, we have about 20-25 tadpoles that have survived in our habitat and are growing larger.  LD in particular has kept close tabs on them!
