Because there's a mosquito life cycle... it starts of with an egg and then it lays its eggs in the water because the egg hatches in to a larva which comes to the surface to breath. The Larva eats micro organisms in the water then later on sheds its skin 4 times... and grows bigger. The it turns into a Pupa which is an undeveloped adult mosquito. it takes two days for it to fully become an adult. The skin splits and it emerges as an adult.

Mosquitoes prefer water sheltered from the wind by grass and weeds. Mosquitoes usually lay their eggs at night. A mosquito may lay a raft of eggs every third night during its life span. Mosquitoes lay their eggs one at a time, sticking them together to form a raft of from 200-300 eggs. A raft of eggs looks like a speck of soot floating on the water and is about 1/4 inch long and 1/8 inch wide. Tiny mosquito larvae emerge from the eggs within 24 hours.
