Aedes there is "a definite quantitative relationship between the weight 

 of the blood meal and the number of eggs produced." As noted by 

 Christophers, Sinton, and Covell (1928), the eggs in the lower follicles 

 of all the ovarioles mature at the same time, so that as many eggs are 

 ready for laying as there are ovarioles. When these eggs are deposited 

 the eggs in the next follicles above mature, and so the production of 

 fresh lots of eggs "seems to have no limit other than the life of the 

 mosquito."
