    Hello subject, mosquitoes don't need to suck blood to live very well! Whether it is a male mosquito or a female mosquito, they usually live on a vegetarian diet, that is, they live on the juice and nectar of plants, and only when the female mosquito is fertilized, will they turn to sucking blood to obtain richer nutrition. Even fertilized female mosquitoes do not need to suck blood to ensure that the fertilized eggs hatch, and if there is no blood, the female mosquito can still live on plant juice and nectar, but the number of eggs laid by the female mosquito at a time is much smaller than that of its own blood-feeding species.

    Therefore, the answer to the first question, whether mosquitoes can survive without sucking blood is that they can survive and will live well. The consequence of the absence of blood is a decrease in the ability to reproduce.

    The second question is, why are there so many mosquitoes in the wild?

    Because mosquitoes not only suck human blood, they feed on the blood of almost all animals, mammals.

    Reptiles, amphibians.

    Birds are the ones they suck into. Even their natural predator, the frog, is not spared!

    Therefore, mosquitoes are not short of blood in nature.

    The first question of the first subject, can mosquitoes survive without sucking blood? Yes!

    Not all mosquitoes are bloodsuckers, there are currently more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes in the world, and more than 400 species in China, of which more than 10 species often bite people and transmit diseases. These mosquitoes need to eat to maintain life, but the male mosquitoes among them are not strong enough to pierce people's ** because of their underdeveloped mouthparts and insufficient mouth strength, so male mosquitoes do not suck blood.

    As for female mosquitoes, it is not that they cannot survive without sucking blood. The reason why female mosquitoes want to suck blood, is not simply to maintain life, but also the main purpose is to reproduce offspring, in order to reproduce the next generation, female mosquitoes must ensure that the ovaries have enough nutrients, and our blood is rich in protein and other nutrients, so it is often favored by female mosquitoes.

    The second question is, why are there so many mosquitoes in the wild? As I just said, mosquitoes need energy to sustain life, and plant juice and nectar are the main food of words, and there are many flowers and trees in the wild environment, which can provide mosquitoes with rich ingredients**, and there are many species of animals in the wild, female mosquitoes can suck the blood of these animals, why not.

    Mosquitoes are likely to become extinct if they can't absorb blood, because according to the current research findings, the ovaries in the body of female mosquitoes can't develop if they can't absorb blood, and they can't reproduce, and mosquitoes will naturally die out soon without offspring. In fact, mosquitoes do not need blood to survive, they can usually feed on the sap of plants and trees, and only after the female mosquito and the male mosquito mate, in order to reproduce the offspring, they need to suck blood as a nutritional supplement.

    Female mosquitoes only suck bloodMale mosquitoes have a very short lifespan, they only have a life length of about 10 days, and they mainly survive by sucking the sap or nectar in plants, and after mating with the female mosquito, they die very quickly. After the female mosquito is conceived, in order to provide the necessary nutrients for the development of the ovaries, they can only risk their lives to bite humans, and they cannot lay eggs and reproduce without sucking blood. If the blood is successfully sucked, they will fly to the place where there is stagnant water, or the water surface of the pond or the sewer to lay eggs, so there are mosquitoes where there is water, and water is often the root cause of mosquitoes.

    The lifespan of female mosquitoesFemale mosquitoes shoulder the mission of reproduction, and after sucking blood, the body also has enough nutrients**, so their lifespan is much longer than that of male mosquitoes, which can reach about one month to two months. And the female mosquito can lay about 1,000 to 3,000 eggs in her life, and quickly hatch baby mosquitoes, which means that a female mosquito can conjure thousands of mosquitoes, no wonder there are so many mosquitoes where we live!

    In addition to human blood, mosquitoes should be able to achieve the corresponding effect if they suck the blood of other animals, and if the blood of humans and animals can not be sucked by mosquitoes, it should be the end of mosquitoes. But this day is unlikely to come unless people and animals are gone, and mosquitoes will go extinct.

    In fact, if the mosquito cannot suck the blood, it will become extinct, because just like we humans want to survive and eat rice, this is indispensable. Especially the female mosquito, because if the female mosquito does not suck blood, it will starve to death, and then it will not be able to reproduce. Normally, they survive by sucking blood, then reproducing eggs and growing together.

    Mosquitoes don't usually die if they don't suck blood, but female mosquitoes need to suck blood to replenish their body's nutrients when they reproduce. In fact, male mosquitoes usually absorb some plant juice and flower dew, and their lifespan is very short, only 10 days, and they will die soon after mating with the female mosquito, and after the female mosquito is conceived, it will have to suck human blood to supplement nutrition to reproduce and lay eggs.

    The main food of mosquitoes is blood, and there is no way to survive without blood, and the ovaries in the body cannot develop if the female mosquito cannot absorb blood, and there is no way to reproduce. Thus it will become extinct. They can also feed on the sap of plants and trees to fill their stomachs.

    It should be, only female mosquitoes suck blood, blood sucking is to reproduce offspring, without blood, female mosquito ovaries cannot develop and cannot reproduce, therefore, if mosquitoes cannot suck blood, they will become extinct.

    I believe that for many people, the biggest problem that summer brings to themselves is mosquitoes. If you go out, you will be bitten, if you don't go out at home, you will be bitten if you wear less, and if you cover it tightly, you will be bitten. They are very full, but we are itchy enough.

    So, if mosquitoes don't suck blood, can they survive? Why are there so many mosquitoes in the wild?

    Mosquitoes can survive without sucking blood, and they survive very well! We must know that in fact, biting mosquitoes have always been female mosquitoes, male mosquitoes have never sucked blood, only live on plant juice, and the mouthparts of male mosquitoes are not enough to suck blood on the surface of the human body.

    Female mosquitoes, on the other hand, can also survive well without sucking blood, but in order to reproduce offspring, obtain nutrients in the blood, and develop ovaries, they must suck blood. Therefore, male mosquitoes do not suck blood, and it goes without saying that if female mosquitoes can't suck blood, they won't fall off, but it affects the maturity and development of eggs, and there may be problems with reproduction.

    As for the reason why there are more mosquitoes in the wild, think about it, male mosquitoes do not suck blood, and live on the sap in plants.

    At the same time, there are many small animals in the wild, which are also suitable for the survival of female mosquitoes, providing them with a very rich blood source. So why don't you get together and get together? There will be such a good place, there is enough food, and no human has beaten himself to death to hinder his own eating.

    Moreover, mosquitoes love water, and they will lay their eggs in the water and gradually hatch into adults. There are many ponds, depressions, and small rivers in the wild, which is also the best place for them to breed offspring.

    The biting mosquitoes are Anopheles sinensis, Culex mosquitoes and Aedes mosquitoes.

    1. Anopheles sinensis.

    The Anopheles sinensis mosquito is generally only one centimeter in size, and it is also what we often call the autumn mosquito. Autumn is the peak breeding season for mosquitoes, so they will bite people all the time, which is also the reason for the poison of autumn mosquitoes. It is a medium-sized grayish-brown mosquito with gray and white spots on its wings, an upturned tail when lying still, and a mouth as long as its tentacles, especially in plains.

    2. Culex mosquitoes. Culex mosquitoes are our most common mosquitoes, also known as house mosquitoes, which are generally yellow-brown and have no patterns on their wings, and are mostly active at night, and females come out to suck blood. Generally, they hide in damp and dark places at home for the winter, and usually live mainly in places with water sources, such as flower ponds, water basins, and toilets, which can also spread filariasis, etc., and are the most common mosquitoes in China.

    3. Aedes mosquitoes. Aedes mosquitoes, also known as the Asian tiger mosquito, are the most ruthless of the common mosquitoes, and are also known as the "flower mosquitoes".

    It is mostly common outdoors, likes to suck human blood, and will swell a large piece after stinging, ** itching, causing local inflammation.

    Mosquitoes

    MosquitoesMosquitoes are small flying insects with smiling and stinging mouthparts. Multicellular organisms with elongated bodies and closed feet, usually females feed on blood, while males feed on plant sap and prefer to inhabit hidden, dark and poorly ventilated places, found on all continents except Antarctica.

    It is generally the female mosquito that sucks blood, because it needs to lay eggs, and the male mosquito does not suck blood, only dew.

    No matter what kind of mosquito it is, I hate noisy banquets when I raise the rent, and the most mosquito-eating mosquito in nature is dragonflies, which eat mosquito larvae in the water, and Xiangmo grows up to eat mosquitoes.

    Mosquitoes only suck blood from female mosquitoes, and they only suck blood for reproduction, mosquitoes do not need blood to survive, but they cannot reproduce。So mosquitoes can live until they die of old age without sucking blood. Male mosquitoes don't need to suck blood all the time, so blood is not food for mosquitoes, but female mosquitoes need nutrients in it.

    1. The reason for blood sucking

    In fact, there is no way for mosquitoes to suck blood, because female mosquitoes cannot synthesize the protein that produces egg cells by themselves, and this protein exists in the blood of mammals, so mosquitoes will suck blood, after mosquitoes suck blood, it takes 3-4 days to break down the blood in the body, and then synthesize egg cells, and then mosquitoes will pair with male mosquitoes to lay eggs, and the mosquitoes at this time are not dead, and will continue to suck blood to reproduce.

    2. The process of blood sucking

    The mosquito sucks blood very quickly, it only takes 3 seconds to finish, but the process is complicated. The first thing mosquitoes have to do is to inject anesthetics in **, in case they are detected by the target, and then the mosquitoes will inject formic acid, which will destroy the structure of ** and the blood vessel wall, and it is easier for mosquitoes to insert straws, and after mosquitoes enter the blood, anticoagulants will be injected into it, which sells a large variety of substances to prevent blood clotting and make it more convenient to suck blood.

    3. Growth process

    After washing the blood, the mosquitoes hide in a place and begin to digest the blood, break it down into useful proteins, and then synthesize eggs that are thin and empty, after which the mosquitoes will seek out male mosquitoes to mate and then lay eggs in the water. It takes about 2-5 days for the eggs to hatch in the water, after which they become pupae after about half a month of growth, and after another day they become the mosquitoes we see.

    Mosquitoes are inseparable from water, and there are no mosquitoes without water。The life of a mosquito is divided into four stages, eggs, larvae, pupae and adults, three of which are in the water, where there is stagnant water, the mosquito can lay eggs and reproduce. Therefore, if you have flowers, aquatic plants, etc. at home, it is inevitable that there will be mosquitoes.

    In other words, the waterlogged area of the home is an excellent place for mosquitoes to lay eggs, and if this is the case, then the waterlogged area of the balcony, kitchen, and bathroom at home will become a natural breeding ground for mosquitoes.

    Who the child likes to bite is not very related to the blood type, it is often related to the carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body, and the lactic acid secreted on the surface of the body. For example, people who love to sweat are easy to be bitten by mosquitoes, and pregnant women and children have more volatile sweat on their body surface, and then there are more odor substances, so it is easy for mosquitoes to bite them.

    Habits of mosquitoes:

    Understanding the habitat habits of mosquitoes is the basis for formulating mosquito control measures.

    Generally speaking, mosquitoes like to inhabit in hidden, dark and poorly ventilated places, such as under the bed, behind the cabinet, behind the door, in the wall and in the barn, basement, etc., and outdoors in the grass, caves, cellars, bridge holes, stone cracks, etc.

    According to the different habitat habits after blood sucking, mosquitoes are divided into the following three types: domestic type: such as Anopheles microbasa and Anopheles anthropophilus.

    Semi-domestic type: such as Anopheles sinensis, Qiaoshan, Sun Moon Lake, etc., some indoors after sucking blood, and some inhabit outdoors. Wild type:

    For example, Anopheles albopictus and Aedes albopictus have to fly outside to digest the blood in the stomach after sucking blood.
