Like all mosquitoes, anophelines go through four stages in their life cycles: [[egg (biology)|egg]], [[larva]], [[pupa]], and [[imago|adult]]. The first three stages are aquatic and together last 5–14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature. The adult stage is when the female ''Anopheles'' acts as [[malaria]] [[Vector (epidemiology)|vector]]. The adult females can live up to a month (or more in captivity), but most probably do not live more than two weeks in nature.{{citation-attribution|1={{cite web |url=https://www.cdc.gov/ |
