Mosquito larvae is anywhere! Some of them are in Stagnant Waters and some are in Flowing Waters or Pure/Clean Waters. Even in our flowerpots, pail of water, etc.
Yes - mosquito larvae are like potato chips to goldfish! I have a container water garden on my patio and earlier this week I noticed that it was completely full of hundreds of mosquito larvae swimming around in the water. I bought two (just two!) goldfish and put them in it this morning. Within the course of three hours, the two goldfish had eaten every single mosquito larvae - not a single one left. I strongly recommend common goldfish for anyone who has a mosquito larvae problem in their pond or water garden.
because water is a friendly sourse of nutrient and protection to the mosquito larvae.
No, just the eggs and larvae.
On the surface of the water.
A little bit of cooking oil on top of most containers with mosquito larvae will kill the little critters. Still, it is good to get rid of standing water all around. Without standing water, they can not come back.
You have to put them in a bucket of water that has algae in it.
because of salt water
A mosquito larvae breathes in air through its siphon. It is the younger one of a mosquito!! CHA CHA!!
Floating organic matters floating in the water
No. Mosquito larvae graze over plant and rock matter in the water and eat bacteria and algae. Butterfly larvae eat plants on land.
If they wiggle, the might be mosquito larvae.
if I put them in it for a few minutes while I do my experiment?
