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.
By wrigglers I assume you mean mosquito larvae. They have to come to the surface to breathe.
No animals breathe through air tubes, but insects respire via tubes.
Many aquatic insects, like mosquito larvae and water scorpions respire through breathing tubes (or valves). They must get oxygen from the surface to breathe.
Yes, chlorine can effectively kill mosquito larvae. Chlorine is a common chemical used in water treatment to eliminate bacteria and other organisms, including mosquito larvae. When added to water where mosquito larvae are present, chlorine can disrupt their respiratory system and ultimately kill them.
because water is a friendly sourse of nutrient and protection to the mosquito larvae.
On the surface of the water.
No, just the eggs and larvae.
To effectively kill mosquito larvae in a fountain, you can use mosquito dunks or larvicides that are specifically designed to target and eliminate mosquito larvae. These products are safe for the environment and will help prevent mosquitoes from breeding in the water.
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.
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.
yes the larvae stage of anopheles breathes through spiracles. They do not have a siphon like aedes and other mosquito larvae do.
No. Mosquito larvae need to breathe oxygen from the air and they do so by a siphon tube at their posterior. See the related link for more information.
