To aid in their research, the Strand lab rears 13 different species of mosquitoes. These Culex pipiens eggs have been laid vertically in what is called a raft, floating on the surface of the water. Soon, they will hatch from the bottom, and the larvae will drop down into the water. Read more. (Photo by Jena Johnson)
