i wont to know that the number of days or weeks that the egg of the mosquito for how long can survive in the dry weather and after how many days can be spoiled or frozen specially the dry season.
Eggs of only Aedes mosquitoes are resistant to desiccation and can survive for months together without water. However, eggs of both Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes need water/moisture for their survival and without water these will die within a day.
For the Aedes mosquito's eggs the're normally stay dry for at least one year duration according to the feild observation and when the rainy season starts again some of the egg at the whole trees and on the breeding sites will be hatched and some were waiting for next rainy season and some times two to three seasonsAt the other side Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes they are not found dry and then hatch.
Anopheles eggs can survive for up to 6-8 months in a dry place, while Culex eggs can survive for around 2-5 months. Aedes eggs can remain viable for up to 1-2 years in a dry environment.
