The intentionâof the city, the architect, and Rooftopâs partnersâhas always been to open a chef-driven restaurant. But when the sun sinks and the roof retracts, a thirsty public has other ideas. A rapprochement is in the offing, but itâs clear that fun diningânot fine diningâwill be as formal as Rooftop ever gets.
Before becoming adult fleas, the larvae transform into pupae within a silk-like cocoon. Pupae remain inside the cocoon for 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes longer. The cocoon is resistant to insecticides and this is why some adult fleas are seen for an extended period, even after the home and pet are treated.
Fleas are holometabolous insects, going through the four lifecycle stages of egg, larva, pupa, and imago (adult). Adult fleas must feed on blood before they can become capable of reproduction. Flea populations are distributed with about 50% eggs, 35% larvae, 10% pupae, and 5% adults.
