Mosquito

Mosquitoes are the Deadliest Animals on Earth killing about 1 million

people a year.

 

Malaria, Dengue fever, Yellow fever, Zika, and Encephalitis.

 

An adult mosquito may live 5–6 months.

 

Females Bite Humans While Males Feed on Nectar

 

Female mosquitoes need protein for their eggs and must take a blood

meal in order to reproduce.

Mosquitoes Detect CO2 from 75 Feet Away

 

Carbon dioxide, which humans produce, is the key signal to

mosquitoes that a potential blood meal is near.

 

The key skill they have is to take blood without causing pain in the

donor. If the donor felt pain they would squat the mosquito and the

species would be dead very quickly.

 

I would argue they needed the skill of taking blood on the sly from

day one or they would have died out.

How do they take blood so dicreetly?

The Mosquito inspired micro needles

The edges vibrate at about 15 hertz to help them enter the skin more easily and with less pain.  So the one having their blood sucked will not know it is occurring.

Quite stunning really.  You could argue they needed this 30 million years ago when they started to live or they would have died out very quickly as without this brilliant system that we are copying today with biomimicry to produce pain reduced needles.

Thank you God for your wonders of creation.
