culex - mosquito life cycle

Senior project, short 3d animation that explores complete metamorphosis of mosquito. That annoying (to the human ear) buzzing sound created by wing fraction of females is a love song to the vibration sensitive antennae of the male mosquito. Female lays the eggs, in 24 hours time the larvae hatch, larvae is active feeder and fully participates in a food chain as both, meal and hunter. Next stage is pupae, which is dormant, not feeding. Finally new generation of insects emerge. Females will have to feed on blood in order to develop the eggs.

@alvaroeiras

thanks, no new work. There are more than few inaccuracies in this representation, I should have consulted an entomologist I guess. Good luck in your work.
