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.
Once the flea reaches adulthood, its primary goal is to find blood and then to reproduce. Its total life span can be as long one and one-half years in ideal conditions. Female fleas can lay 5000 or more eggs over their life, allowing for phenomenal growth rates. Average 30â90 days.
