    Mosquitoes can live for a week without sucking blood.

    Mosquitoes suck blood not to hail and survive themselves, but to reproduce the next generation. Mosquitoes suck blood at a time is about 2 to 5 mg. Take house mosquitoes as an example (the average lifespan of house mosquitoes is about one week), they suck blood every 30 minutes, and they are closed for more than 24 hours a day.

    It can live for 7 days and suck 5 milligrams of blood at a time, and the mosquito can suck 1,680 milligrams of blood in its lifetime.

    Not all mosquitoes need to suck blood.

    Mosquitoes have the ability to feed after success, and the main food of the newly emerging adults** is the sap of plants. Therefore, newly fledged mosquitoes do not suck blood. However, after a few days, some of the mosquitoes will suck blood.

    Mosquitoes, like most animals, are male and female. Male mosquitoes will not suck blood for life, they will feed on plant sap for life, while female mosquitoes are different, before laying eggs, female mosquitoes and males feed on plant sap, however, during the breeding period, female mosquitoes need more energy and nutrients in order to develop ovaries, so at this time, female mosquitoes will suck blood to replenish energy. And female mosquitoes are not able to develop ovaries until they suck blood.

    Therefore, it is the female mosquito that sucks blood, the male mosquito does not suck blood, and once the female mosquito sucks blood, it has the ability to reproduce offspring. In addition, female mosquitoes only need to mate once in their lifetime, and they have the ability to lay fertilized eggs all the time.

    If there are no mosquitoes left in the world, the ecological chain will collapse.

    Without mosquitoes, there would be no more of their larvae, and the entire biological chain would be destroyed. Small animals that feed on mosquitoes and mosquito larvae, such as dragonflies, bats, swallows, and tadpoles, will starve or even starve to death because they lack enough food.

    The lack of food will cause them to lose their desire to reproduce offspring, and those animals that feed on these kinetic potatoes will also lose their food**......Finally, it may cause an imbalance or even collapse of the entire biological chain.

    In addition, the larvae of mosquitoes live mainly in water. Their food is the remains of plankton, microorganisms and even plants and animals, which will decompose the remains of animals and plants, allowing those substances to be returned to nature, and the tribe promotes the overall cycle of nature.

    Do all mosquitoes suck blood?

    Not all of the mosquitoes are blood-sucking and biting. First of all, male mosquitoes are vegetarian, and female mosquitoes will only suck blood after pregnancy in order to increase nutrition for the baby. But this is also a last resort, the female mosquito only to suck blood and obtain a protein in the blood, in order to promote their ovaries to mature, so as to successfully give birth to the next generation.

    Usually, they are also vegetarian. They can also help plants pollinate while sucking the nectar of plants.

    Mosquitoes need nutrients from their blood to support their reproduction and survival. The mouthparts of the mosquito are made up of straws and syringes, which are injected with saliva to suck blood. In the process of sucking blood, mosquitoes extract water and nutrients from the blood, while excreting carbon dioxide and other waste products from the body.

    No. "Mosquitoes that are killed have red blood in them, not necessarily human blood, because mosquitoes don't just suck human blood, and it's not just human blood that's red. And mosquitoes themselves also have blood, the difference is that mosquito blood is transparent.

    Let's take a brief look at this hated animal.

    Mosquitoes have unique blood-sucking properties, but they don't just suck human blood, basically all land animals are sucked by mosquitoes, including other insects. In the selection of animals, animals with sparse hair and easy to bite are generally selected first, among which mammals are especially popular, because the blood of such creatures has a constant temperature and high blood pressure, and they can quickly suck up and escape.

    Summer is here, and it's the season of mosquito "carnival" again. I don't know if you have noticed a phenomenon, that is, in the past, mosquitoes seemed to come out at night to bite, and they were rarely bitten by mosquitoes during the day, but at the moment, whether it was day or night, mosquitoes were always everywhere. Actually, this is not an illusion, but a fact.

    Although mosquitoes are a worldwide distribution of organisms, and their species are more than 3,000 species, but in the past, mosquitoes in different countries also have great differences, such as the most common mosquito in China is Anopheles sinensis, which is a gray-black mosquito with a gray-black body color, they have no spots on their bodies, they belong to the diurnal and nocturnal creatures, they will hide in dark places during the day, and then go out to forage at night. Of course, this is just a common mosquito in our country a few decades ago.

    The 3 nemesis that mosquitoes are most afraid of

    2. Mosquito repellent grass: Mosquito repellent grass is a plant that can repel mosquitoes, and like mint, it has a smell that mosquitoes don't like. This plant is very vigorous, can survive for many years, has a unique aroma, is harmless to the human body, and can be kept at home.

    3. Wormwood: Wormwood is also a very famous plant, during the Dragon Boat Festival, many people will put wormwood in front of the door to repel mosquitoes, and it also has certain medicinal value. Therefore, at home, put some wormwood to effectively repel mosquitoes.
