Q

Describe complex/complete metamorphosis

A

insect transition from egg, larvae, pupa and then adult life stages. The larvae look nothing like the adult. the larvae often form a pupal case (cocoon) in which the pupa forms. During the pupal stage the larvae transforms into an adult

Q

What are 4 ways you can use water management practices to control mosquitos?

A
  1. Eliminate mosquito breeding habitat. Remove excess water within 5 days of accumulation and cover water areas like pools/ponds and birdbaths. 2. Prevent water accumulation in areas where water can pool. 3. Use predaceous fish as a biological control. the GAMBUSIA-AFFINIS is the fish most commonly used. 4. Increase water movement. mosquito larvea cannot tolerate much movement.
