Mosquitoes reproduce sexually, and do so after the female mosquito has gorged yourself with blood so that she may utilize its protein rich content in order to produce eggs.
The male mosquitoes generally live in swarms, and when the female mosquito is ready to reproduce, she will fly into a swarm of male mosquitoes in order to mate.
It takes about three days for the eggs to develop and grow inside the abdomen of the female mosquito, and after that time the eggs are laid directly on top of or nearby a standing water source.
A female mosquito can reproduce several times during her lifetime, which normally lasts no more than a few months.
