=== Pupae === The pupa (also known as a tumbler) is comma-shaped when viewed from the side. The head and [[Thorax (insect anatomy)|thorax]] are merged into a [[cephalothorax]], with the abdomen curving around underneath it. As with the larvae, the pupa must come to the surface frequently to breathe, which it does through a pair of respiratory trumpets on its cephalothorax. After a few days as a pupa, the dorsal surface of the cephalothorax splits and the adult mosquito emerges.<ref name="cdc"/> <gallery class=center mode=nolines widths=150 heights=225> Anopheles (YPM IZ 093745).jpeg|[[Pupa]] File:The pupa of a mosquito (Anopheles maculipennis).
