She Loves Blood, He Loves the Ladies
She has a slender body and long legs. When she finds the one she wants a distinctive high-pitched noise comes from her hungry mouth. He is a stunning chap with fancy hair and flair for flowers, always on the lookout for a hot lady.
These two make quite a pair, and we hear about them every summer. Yes it is the dreaded mosquito. Not many folks know that it’s the female that is the one to feast on your blood.
This is done with her long straw like mouth called a proboscis. Once she plunges it into your skin, and just before she sucks your blood she injects a mild painkiller, which numbs you to the pain from the “bite”.
She needs the protein in blood for development and laying of eggs. She makes that very distinct buzzing noise that you hear before you start itching. This noise is also how the gentleman find her. She seeks to do nothing but drink blood, mate and lay eggs. Living from 3 to 100 days.
The male feeds on the nectar of flowers for food. He is smaller than the lady and can be picked from a crowd by his feathered antennae. Always on the prowl for the ladies buzzing call to mate. His short 10 to 20 day life is spent sipping sweet liquid and mating, leaving this world with a smile on his face.
