Get an up-close look at mosquito larvae and pupae. Larvae filter-feed nutrients from the water, while pupae no longer feed as they prepare to emerge out of their pupal case - and out of the water as a winged adult mosquito!

  • I had a jar of these little boogers once, and I disturbed the jar to make them swim to the bottom, and I kept them there by disturbing the jar constantly until they HAD to come up to breathe.... But when they finally did, they discovered that I had floated a thin layer of oil on the water surface, which they were unable to penetrate. Suffocation! ......That's for all the times those bastards have bitten me.

    Cool video, by the way.....

  • oh my... these things look like lil' alien creatures preparing to plan a massive attack on the human species.

see all

  • @DetroitDiesel671 Thank you SOOOO much for the tip about floating a thin layer of oil on the surface of the water to suffocate the larvae. My aunt has some sort of plant that she won't get rid of and I've been watching these organisms floating and having a good ol' time in the water. I've changed the water and flushed it down the toilet several times, but about two weeks later, the effing jar would be full of them again. HOPEFULLY, this oil thing will get rid of them once and for all.

  • ok cute... BUT KILL EM NOW!!!

  • If only they could stay like this : / Then they'd be cute

  • @jamie10310 Sick, yes, in a lot of fun ways. Sick and superior to a lot of stupid fucking zombies that are out there, shambling around on the streets, living for society, unable to think for themselves. At least I am an individual who sees through the human bullshit, sick though I may be. The only difference between genius and insane is success.

  • @WolfySnackrib666

    You're sick.

  • @MrMedal77 That little weak boy grew up, grew strong! Well except for the immune defence...

  • @MrMedal77 I contracted the disease from your dad, several years ago. About the time you were hatched as a matter of fact.

  • @MrMedal77 I will capture you inside my hemeroid and squirt aids into your rectum. Then I'll paint you like an easteregg and display you on the moon and put rhubarb bushes all over your treehouse.

  • @MrMedal77 After... no... before... hmm that question doesn't have a favorable answer. So before you intend on doing that I'll steal your car and drive it far away where you will never find it again, hahaa!

  • @MrMedal77 I will take vengeance upon you and stab your throat! See if you can breathe then.
