Only female mosquitoes bite as they need the blood for a source of protein. After landing she uses her proboscis to stick the skin like needle to inject a fluid to keep a person's blood from coagulating or thickening. Then she sucks a drop of blood and stores it in her abdomen before flying off to lay her eggs.
Did you know the mosquito is the deadliest animal on earth because of all the diseases it spreads?
