Answer 2

Answer: 1) Butterfly is not part of the cycle. 2) There sould be an egg instead of the butterfly.

Explanation:

The entire mosquito life cycle can be counted in days. Mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of fresh or stagnant water, which hatch into larvae

• The mosquito is in the egg stage for about 24 hours before they develop into the next stage of their life cycle, larva.

• During the larval stage of a mosquito's life cycle, they produce a well-developed head with mouth brushes, a thorax with no legs, and a segmented abdomen. They must breathe air to survive which is why they generally remain on the surface of the water.

• Next, is the pupal stage  is a resting, non-feeding stage. During the pupal stage, the mosquito breathes air through two tubes located on their backs called "trumpets". Inside of the pupal case, mosquitoes will grow legs and wings and once the mosquito is fully developed, the pupal skin will split and the mosquito will emerge as an adult.
• As a mature adult, it will rest on the surface of the water to dry off and all of its parts to harden before taking flight.
