Only female mosquitoes bite. They are attracted by several things, including heat (infrared light), light, perspiration, body odor, lactic acid and carbon dioxide.

I just got bit by a male mosquito. It landed on my shoulder so I swatted it away but it ended up landing on my neck, shortly after I felt a pinch and it flew away. I now have a small portion of raised red skin on my neck. I have always "known" male mosquitoes don t bite humans so I was confused. I then looked it up and couldn t find anything on it so here I am spreading the news.

No male mosquito do not bite, however it is difficult to make which is male and which one is female.

NO only female mosquitoes bite because they need blood to produce their eggs. But male mosquitoes feed on the nectar of the flowers.............

Nope. Only the females because they need blood in order to reproduce.
