No. Mosquito larvae graze over plant and rock matter in the water and eat bacteria and algae. Butterfly larvae eat plants on land.

Are caterpillars during the pupa stage?
No. Insect (and thereby butterfly) development knows four stages; egg, larvae, pupa, adult. The caterpillar is the butterfly's larva. The pupa is the chrysalis, the immobile hanging thing in which the larva (caterpillar) changes into the winged adult (butterfly). ^^ All metamorphing insects do the same, including for example flies (egg, maggot, pupa, fly) and bees (egg, larva, pupa, adult, but in the hive so you don't see!).

Which animal goes through metamorphosis?
In insects, complete metamorphosis has four stages - egg, larva, pupa and adult. Butterflies are an example of this; the caterpillar (larva) hatches from the egg, molts and grows, forms a pupa and comes out as a butterfly (adult). Flies, same story. Their larvae are called maggots, and they too form pupae. Those of beetles are called grubs. Now, incomplete metamorphosis is a more primitive lifestyle. These insects don't form pupae, but hatch from their eggs as miniature adults (same shape, not different like caterpillar/butterfly etc), only wingless. These molt a few times, and the last time, they emerge with fully grown wings and they're adults. Insects that do this are true bugs (like stinkbugs), mayflies, dragonflies, and more. The larva is called a nymph here.

Does a beetle has a similar life cycle as the mosquito?
Any insect has a fairly short life. However some live in forests in clusters for a long time. Generally a bee, or fly, is regarded as having an elongated life span - like the mosquito. However each one can die at any second.
