Watch a mosquito go from larva to adult

We're talking about mosquitoes today at 11:15. Researchers are finding ways to genetically modify mosquitoes in hopes of stopping the spread of deadly disease. We'll talk about what kind of implications that could have on the environment.

Is this video out of date? I am going to guess that our knowledge of basic mosquito biology hasn't evolved much. But, in case it has, don't use this as a source of information for your biology quiz.
