Food sources are where gnats are born. Mothers attempt to deposit eggs in garden/houseplant soils and perishable foods in order that the new-hatched maggots can feed enough to pupate and survive as mature micro-flies. The adults will become known as biting midges, fruit flies, and fungus gnats according to particular food chains, life cycles, and natural histories.

Depends on the species. Some lay eggs in stagnant water like mosquitoes do, some lay in rotting vegetation, some in live vegetation, some in fungal blooms.

As with most insects, they lay eggs.
