The stage you are talking about is the "bull", just prior to hatching, that 
is the most dangerous stage, the larvae can hatch and you have an 
interesting fish room..

                 I have always collect larvae as early as possible and left 
it in the tank.  In many of my tanks, I place mosquito rafts, I have never 
seen a larvae when the rafts are in the tank.  there is constant food for 
all of the fish.

                 In my book, I explain saving rafts in the refrigerator, 
and other ways to use larvae.  I also collect constantly and freeze the 
larvae for the winter.   I never let my collection points get to the 
"flippystage"  it's to close to adult mosquitos and aggravation.
