[1] Opifex fuscus have an unusual mating system.
In contrast with most mosquito species, which mate in flight, mating in Opifex occurs on the surface of salt-water pools.
[2] Opifex fuscus males will grab female pupae from under the surface of the water.
Females begin reproducing as soon as they come out of their chrysalis.
