Do mosquitoes have teeth?

Mosquitoes have modified mouthparts which form a probiscius (a feeding tube).So they sort of DO have teeth. Most insects have mouthparts based on a similarity to locusts, but with modifications between different species. Mosquitoes don't actually sting, and its only the females that suck blood (in order to produce eggs)

Nope. They have a very sharp little tube.

no they have a stinger that they puncture the skin with and suck the blood the bite mark is a reaction to the poisin they release to break the skin.
