In order to contribute for the improvement of knowledge on the development of the vector of dengue and yellow fever, we created sequences of images showing the life cycle, of Aedes aegypti.
The film is a composition of real and virtual images, which describe the mosquito cycle emphasising the language of the image with soundtrack.
The real images show the transformation of biologic active immature forms, a sequence of morphologic events: the egg and larvae phase, the larvae and pupa differentiation, and the emergency of the adult mosquito, characterizing the life cycle in the natural and anthropized environments.
