How does


mosquito


bite us?

The mosquito bites using a very sophisticated “system” consisting of no less than 6 needles

The mosquito (female) bites with a needle system that has no equivalence in nature. After settling on the targeted area of the body, it prepares its weapon. It drives two sharp mandibular blades (very similar to an electric knife with two blades moving back and forth alternately) and pierces the skin. It drives two retractor needles that are responsible for opening a corridor for the “proboscis”. The proboscis is actually a kind of directionable hypodermic needle that penetrates and searches for the nearest blood vessel. Using this type of straw, it starts sucking 3-5 milligrams of blood. At the same time, it begins to eliminate water in the blood in order to concentrate the protein content to 20% of the total. Meanwhile, the sixth needle pumps saliva containing an anticoagulant to keep the blood flowing and reduce the time it takes to feed (reducing the risk of being swatted). This anticoagulant saliva causes an allergic reaction so the "gift" the mosquito leaves behind is swelling and itching around the bite. This complex system of needles has evolved over 190 million years. Source: Winegard, Timothy Charles “THE MOSQUITO: a human history of our deadliest predator”. New York: Dutton (2019).
