  You mean the grown up ones for the kiddie one?
  
  If the grown up one I don't think they can even survive in plain water.

  Wrong guess.
  
  The answer is yes.
  
  I will not provide explanation until at least 2 people tried.

  Grown up of course cannot survive inside water, but on surface of water, if not, how they lay eggs?
  
  Anyway, mosquito larvae also live near the surface of water, because they need air. For now, just concentrate on the kids.
