Why Male Mosquitoes Feed On Plants & Female Mosquitoes Blood by ashybabs(m): 4:35am On Jul 03, 2021 |
So Florida releases millions of biotech male mosquitoes, with engineered DNA which when they mate with the bloody female species, the female offspring don't survive. And the genes go for generations. Technically, over time, there will be no female mosquitos, and everyone else goes back to Eden-format: eating plants and leaving human beings alone. This ingenuity arises from the observation that insecticides no longer work on these crazy creatures. I hope this government reads science news apart from political and bovine (cow) matters. �� 22 Likes 2 Shares |

As a zoologist, I can tell you why female mosquitoes collect blood, but males collect nectar. Just before proceeding, you need to know that every mosquito (male or female) eats organic matter from water sources. Now here's the thing: Female mosquitoes lack iron, but to produce eggs, they need to consume iron. The most reliable source of iron is our hemoglobin. Now our hemoglobin does not have only iron, it also has proteins, lots of proteins (if you can make animal feed, you'd understand why blood meal is very expensive). The female mosquitoes collect your blood so that their young can develop well in their eggs. Since male mosquitoes do not produce eggs, they do not need iron, so they don't collect blood. There you go. What you intend to use this information for is completely your business. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Anything to eradicate female anopheles mosquitoes from planet earth is a very welcome development and good initiative. The mosquitoes in my area are something else, disturbing 24/7 |
