Caption:
This illustration depicts a dorsal view of a mosquito larva, highlighting the larva’s siphon, or air tube. Mosquito larvae of both the Mansonia, and Coquillettidia genera, are distinguished by their radically modified, sharp tipped siphon. These two genera insert their siphons into the hollow roots of aquatic plants in order to access their air supply.
