Question

Wriggler is the larva of
A.Butterfly
B.Housefly
C.Mosquito
D.Cockroach

Answer 1

Hint: Wrigglers are aquatic, with a large head and thorax and a short, wormlike abdomen, usually hanging just below the surface of the water, breathing air at the end of the abdomen through tubes.

Complete answer:
 A slender segmented body, a pair of wings, a pair of halters, three sets of long hair-like legs, and elongated mouthparts are all mosquitoes. The mosquito's life cycle consists of the stages of the embryo, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are deposited on the water surface; they feed on marine algae and organic material into motile larvae. Most species are deposited on the surface of the water. There is a well-developed head of the mosquito larva, a large legless thorax and a segmented belly, with mouth brushes used for feeding. Larvae breathe via spiracles placed on their eighth abdominal segments or via a syphon, so they must still come to the surface. The larvae spend most of their time feeding on algae, bacteria, and other microbes in the surface microlayer. Mosquito larvae have been investigated as the prey of other Dipteran flies. In studies, animals such as Bezzia Nobilis within the family Ceratopogonidae have been shown to feed on mosquito larvae. They dive below the surface when disturbed. The larvae swim either by propulsion or by jerky movements of their entire bodies through their mouth brushes, giving them the common name of "wigglers" or "wrigglers." Larvae develop through four phases or instars, after which they metamorphose into pupas. At the end of each stage, the larvae mould, shedding their skin to allow for further growth.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION(C)

Note: Effect on Wellness: Fortunately, mosquito larvae do not bite humans or livestock, and even if they are swallowed by livestock consuming the water in which they live, they usually do not harm the animal.
