Mosquito eggs are sub-cylindrical in shape and about one millimeter long. Females can deposit one by one (Aedes, Ochlerotatus and Anopheles) or grouped in number from 100 to 200, forming the so-called naviculas that present the characteristic of floating on water (Culex, Culiseta).
Other eggs deposited in isolation, such as those of the anopheles, have elements that in the form of floats allow them to remain on the surface of the water.
Others, unlike the previous ones, are deposited in an isolated way but on the humid substrate where later, thanks to the presence of water, they will develop. This is the typical case of the Ochlerotatus and Aedes.
