::stage Egg:: Most lizards, including iguanas, geckos and water dragons, lay soft, leathery eggs. In most species, females bury their eggs in holes and leave the eggs on their own. Some species will return to warm the eggs. Incubation time varies. Frilled lizard eggs hatch in approximately 70 days while green iguana eggs hatch in 90 days. Hatchling lizards break open the egg with their egg tooth or caruncle. The lizards remain in the egg for approximately 12 to 24 hours to absorb the remaining yolk before emerging from the egg. A few species of lizards, including the Solomon Island and blue-tongued skink give birth to live young. ::stage Juvenile Lizards:: After hatching or birth, juvenile lizards are fully able to fend for themselves. In most species, lizard parents do not provide care or protection for the young. Juveniles grow into adults without any significant changes other than size. ::stage Adult:: Once fully grown, lizards are adults and may begin mating. The mating process varies by species. For example, the frilled lizard mates during the wet season between October and March. Males attract females by spreading their frill. After mating, females lay 8 to 23 eggs. Females may lay up to two clutches each breeding season. Green iguanas begin mating when they are approximately 16 months old. Mating occurs during the dry season, usually in the fall. Males attract females with their colors and displays such as head-bobbing and push-ups. Females lay a clutch of 12 to 30 eggs. | Eggs of most lizards are buried island. | not_entailment | lookup |

::stage Egg:: Most lizards, including iguanas, geckos and water dragons, lay soft, leathery eggs. In most species, females bury their eggs in holes and leave the eggs on their own. Some species will return to warm the eggs. Incubation time varies. Frilled lizard eggs hatch in approximately 70 days while green iguana eggs hatch in 90 days. Hatchling lizards break open the egg with their egg tooth or caruncle. The lizards remain in the egg for approximately 12 to 24 hours to absorb the remaining yolk before emerging from the egg. A few species of lizards, including the Solomon Island and blue-tongued skink give birth to live young. ::stage Juvenile Lizards:: After hatching or birth, juvenile lizards are fully able to fend for themselves. In most species, lizard parents do not provide care or protection for the young. Juveniles grow into adults without any significant changes other than size. ::stage Adult:: Once fully grown, lizards are adults and may begin mating. The mating process varies by species. For example, the frilled lizard mates during the wet season between October and March. Males attract females by spreading their frill. After mating, females lay 8 to 23 eggs.

::stage Egg:: Eggs are laid one at a time or attached together to form 'rafts.' Eggs float on the surface of the water. In the case of Culex and Culiseta species, the eggs are stuck together in rafts of up to 200. Anopheles, Ochlerotatus, and Aedes, as well as many other genera, do not make egg rafts, but lay their eggs singly. Culex, Culiseta, and Anopheles lay their eggs on the water surface while many Aedes and Ochlerotatus lay their eggs on damp soil that will be flooded by water. Most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours; others might withstand subzero winters before hatching. Water is a necessary part of larvae habitat. ::stage Larva:: The larva (plural - larvae) lives in the water and comes to the surface to breathe. Larvae shed (molt) their skins four times, growing larger after each molt. Most larvae have siphon tubes for breathing and hang upside down from the water surface. Anopheles larvae do not have a siphon and lie parallel to the water surface to get a supply of oxygen through a breathing opening. Coquillettidia and Mansonia larvae attach to plants to obtain their air supply. The larvae feed on microorganisms and organic matter in the water. During the fourth molt the larva changes into a pupa. ::stage Pupa:: The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage of development, but pupae are mobile, responding to light changes and moving (tumble) with a flip of their tails towards the bottom or protective areas. This is the time the mosquito changes into an adult. This process is similar to the metamorphosis seen in butterflies when the butterfly develops - while in the cocoon stage - from a caterpillar into an adult butterfly. In Culex species in the southern United States this takes about two days in the summer. When development is complete, the pupal skin splits and the adult mosquito (imago) emerges. ::stage Adult:: The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time to allow itself to dry and all its body parts to harden. The wings have to spread out and dry properly before the adult can fly. Blood feeding and mating does not occur for a couple of days after the adults emerge. | In rafts are mosquito eggs laid. | entailment | lookup |

Larvae shed (molt) their skins four times, growing larger after each molt. Most larvae have siphon tubes for breathing and hang upside down from the water surface. Anopheles larvae do not have a siphon and lie parallel to the water surface to get a supply of oxygen through a breathing opening. Coquillettidia and Mansonia larvae attach to plants to obtain their air supply. The larvae feed on microorganisms and organic matter in the water. During the fourth molt the larva changes into a pupa. ::stage Pupa:: The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage of development, but pupae are mobile, responding to light changes and moving (tumble) with a flip of their tails towards the bottom or protective areas. This is the time the mosquito changes into an adult. This process is similar to the metamorphosis seen in butterflies when the butterfly develops - while in the cocoon stage - from a caterpillar into an adult butterfly. In Culex species in the southern United States this takes about two days in the summer. When development is complete, the pupal skin splits and the adult mosquito (imago) emerges. ::stage Adult:: The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time to allow itself to dry and all its body parts to harden. The wings have to spread out and dry properly before the adult can fly.

::stage Egg:: Eggs are laid one at a time or attached together to form 'rafts.' Eggs float on the surface of the water. In the case of Culex and Culiseta species, the eggs are stuck together in rafts of up to 200. Anopheles, Ochlerotatus, and Aedes, as well as many other genera, do not make egg rafts, but lay their eggs singly. Culex, Culiseta, and Anopheles lay their eggs on the water surface while many Aedes and Ochlerotatus lay their eggs on damp soil that will be flooded by water. Most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours; others might withstand subzero winters before hatching. Water is a necessary part of larvae habitat. ::stage Larva:: The larva (plural - larvae) lives in the water and comes to the surface to breathe. Larvae shed (molt) their skins four times, growing larger after each molt. Most larvae have siphon tubes for breathing and hang upside down from the water surface. Anopheles larvae do not have a siphon and lie parallel to the water surface to get a supply of oxygen through a breathing opening. Coquillettidia and Mansonia larvae attach to plants to obtain their air supply. The larvae feed on microorganisms and organic matter in the water. During the fourth molt the larva changes into a pupa. ::stage Pupa:: The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage of development, but pupae are mobile, responding to light changes and moving (tumble) with a flip of their tails towards the bottom or protective areas. This is the time the mosquito changes into an adult.

Anopheles larvae do not have a siphon and lie parallel to the water surface to get a supply of oxygen through a breathing opening. Coquillettidia and Mansonia larvae attach to plants to obtain their air supply. The larvae feed on microorganisms and organic matter in the water. During the fourth molt the larva changes into a pupa. ::stage Pupa:: The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage of development, but pupae are mobile, responding to light changes and moving (tumble) with a flip of their tails towards the bottom or protective areas. This is the time the mosquito changes into an adult. This process is similar to the metamorphosis seen in butterflies when the butterfly develops - while in the cocoon stage - from a caterpillar into an adult butterfly. In Culex species in the southern United States this takes about two days in the summer. When development is complete, the pupal skin splits and the adult mosquito (imago) emerges. ::stage Adult:: The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time to allow itself to dry and all its body parts to harden. The wings have to spread out and dry properly before the adult can fly. Blood feeding and mating does not occur for a couple of days after the adults emerge. | A mosquito larva will shed its skin, or molt, four times number of times. | entailment | lookup |
::stage Egg:: Eggs are laid one at a time or attached together to form 'rafts.' Eggs float on the surface of the water. In the case of Culex and Culiseta species, the eggs are stuck together in rafts of up to 200. Anopheles, Ochlerotatus, and Aedes, as well as many other genera, do not make egg rafts, but lay their eggs singly. Culex, Culiseta, and Anopheles lay their eggs on the water surface while many Aedes and Ochlerotatus lay their eggs on damp soil that will be flooded by water. Most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours; others might withstand subzero winters before hatching.
