There are more than 2,700 species of mosquitoes worldwide. It turns out that not all mosquitoes bite humans or animals and suck their blood. Only female mosquitoes suck the blood of living creatures, because they need protein for the development of their eggs. Meanwhile, male mosquitoes get nutrition or food from plant juices, for example flower nectar. The reason is because male mosquitoes do not have a mouth shape that allows them to pierce human or animal skin.
