No.Two or three days after the female mosquito has eaten, she can lay about 200 eggs on the surface of the water. This water can be in a puddle, a pond, or even a salt marsh. The eggs float around until they stick to some grasses. It usually takes 2-3 days for the babies (wrigglers) to hatch. They eat very tiny plants and animals in the water. After they have eaten enough, the wrigglers become a pupa. Inside the pupa, they change from a wriggler into an adult mosquito in less than a week. Some female mosquitoes survive the winter, but many only live for 25 days. Often, the males only live for a week.

No. They breed in standing water. One reason why mosquito control wants people to get rid of standing water in the spring months. For ponds a guppy type fish called a mosquito fish can take care of the mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes do not build nests. Instead, mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of a body of standing water, and their eggs hatch a few days later.
