Question

When summer comes, we can find a lot of mosquitoes (蚊子) around us. The mosquitoes make a living by sucking (吮吸) the blood out of just about anything that moves, including us. But not all the mosquitoes suck our blood, only female mosquitoes do. If a female mosquito likes you, she will land on your body without letting you know. She sucks your blood quickly and quietly and put something into your skin, so you may feel nothing. After this, the mosquito will find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs.

They usually do this job near water. The adults are sometimes away from water, but they must have water to lay their eggs. Young mosquitoes live in water, too. They can be in rock pools, holes in trees, and bottles lying around.

Like butterflies and bees, both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar(花蜜). It gives them energy. They also feed on plant juice.

Female mosquito also need something to help their eggs to grow. They get this thing called protein(蛋白) from blood. This is why mosquitoes suck blood of people and animals.
