Some mosquito strains or species are able to lay eggs without taking a blood meal, a trait named autogeny. This may allow populations to persist through times or places where vertebrate hosts are. Adult female aedes mosquitoes lay eggs on the inner walls of containers that hold water.
Males feed on nectar and plant juices.
The proteins and iron in blood are essential for vitellogenesis, the process of creating egg yolk. This may allow populations to persist through times or places where vertebrate.

The mosquito can lay eggs about three times in its lifetime, and about 100 eggs are produced each time. Some mosquito strains or species are able to lay eggs without taking a blood meal, a trait named autogeny. The eggs can lie dormant in dry conditions for up to about nine months, after which they can hatch if.

This may allow populations to persist through times or places where vertebrate. To lay eggs after mating, female mosquitoes search for hosts and suck blood, which is a good source of protein.
