The larva that emerges out of every egg is known as a wriggler. The wriggler floats upside down to the surface of the water. It breathes through a breathing tube that is at the end of its abdomen. The breathing tube protrudes from the surface of the water, allowing the wriggler to breathe.

What kinds of animals breathe through breathing tube?
Many aquatic insects, like mosquito larvae and water scorpions respire through breathing tubes (or valves). They must get oxygen from the surface to breathe.

minnowsActually, mosquito fish are one of the best ways. These small fish swarm the surface, where mosquito larvae come up to breathe. They can survive even in small ponds. You can also buy "mosquito donuts" that float on the water. They contain Bt israeliensis bacteria that attack and kill mosquito larvae, before they hatch into adults.
Are there mosquito larvae in swimming pools?
No. Swimming pools have chlorine or salt-water, both of which prevent the growth of mosquito larvae, so even if a mosquito lays eggs in a swimming pool, the eggs will die before becoming larvae.
