He , feeds on the nectar of flowers. Only the female seeks mammalian blood. --Mammalian blood provides not only food for the female, but is an integral part of the fertilization of the eggs. Even after fertilization, « the egg will not hatch without a . certain protein from the blood. --The female lays between 100 •1 and 200 eggs at a time and may reproduce four times in her life • cycle. --Mosquito eggs can lay dormant for up to four years and still produce larval mosquitoes. The egg wall is very tough and is highly resistant to chemicals and weather. --An immediate rain is not needed for viability of the off­ spring because of the durability . of the eggs. Many mosquitoes lay eggs on a dry flood plain and have an instinct or a sense of when the area will soon be wet. --Mosquitoes are attracted to City lights and have an inland - range of five to 15 miles.
