Mosquitos, even today, are the main and most ruthless killers of mankind. Why do mosquitoes bite?
Biting to reproduce
Mosquito bites are a very complex nutrition system that the insect needs to reproduce. From the blood taken from human beings necessary to produce and bring to maturity the eggs.
A female is always stinging. Here’s how the terrible insect goes when it decides to bite us.
How does a mosquito sting
1) gently approaches the chosen point.
2) conducts an elegant reconnaissance exercise in search of a blood vessel,
3) back up, points the objective and prepares the weapons, 6 very sophisticated needles
4) pierces the skin with 2 sharp blades that move alternately (electric knife type),
5) opens a passage for the proboscis, organ similar to a hypodermic needle and begins to suck 3 – 5 mg of blood by eliminating the water and concentrating the protein part.
6) with a sixth saliva pump needle containing an anticoagulant agent to keep the blood fluid in the puncture area.
All this as fast as possible, in the hope of not being discovered and crushed against our skin!
