The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage of development. Though considered resting, the pupa are still mobile; able to flip and tumble to reach protective areas away from the sun and predators. This is the time the mosquito changes into an adult.
I greatly appreciate your advice on how to keep mosquitos away specifically the advice about emptying outdoor flower pots and removing standing water. This is because my house has a very big garden arrangement that my wife made right next to it, and this is usually where things like flowers and water ponds come up whenever it rains. This could be the prime place I have to focus on, so I’ll get a pest control service to help me make sure the garden is safe from mosquitos.
