Because when they bit you they inject a fluid that helps thin the blood so that as they are suck your blood wont clot. and your body tries to fight the "venom" and that is what makes it itch

Because when the female mosquito bites you, by the way the only one who bites not the male, she is taking your blood for protein however in the process she also leaves behind some anticoagulants which causes an allergic reaction with your skin, therefore causing you to itch.

The mosquito injects you with something that numbs you and thins your blood so that you don't notice them biting you until they're done. The itching is basically a mild allergic reaction afterward.

the mosquito injects a poison...it itches so that you scratch, which brings more blood to that spot and infects you more quickly

They leave a chemical that reacts with your skin like an allergic reaction

because your skin gets an irritation to the material the mosquito injects just under your skin
