Mosquito Module 1 (Mosq1)
“Lifestyle and Life cycle”
Mosquitoes are famous for flying around and biting animals and humans, but this is just their adult life. They spend much of their lives in freshwater, yet must breath air.
In this module Pupils will explore the amazing ways that mosquitoes develop from an egg to a grub (larva) to flying insect.
If you are using the teacher-led format, contact us for “resource boxes” containing preserved mosquito specimens. See our Common Question cheatsheet for common questions from pupils.
