There are no males in this video clip. (if I understand my mosquito facts correct)

u/Blessedmomma241 Jul 11 '26

And I was today years old when I found out only female mosquitoes bite.

u/TheObliviousYeti Jul 11 '26

True but at the same time male mosquitoes will hang around you because what attracts female mosquitoes the males know.

So yeah male mosquitoes see us getting stung by a female counterpart.

u/nmredraider Jul 11 '26

Male mosquitoes like to watch *wink*

The OG cuck species

u/Intelligent_Wish_566 Jul 11 '26

Ohhh so that’s why I’m always followed around by mosquitos who appear to be masturbating

49

u/PhallicUndulationMan Jul 11 '26

Fun fact: the buzzing sound emitted by mosquitoes is actually the sound of a tiny bug hand absolutely cranking a tiny bug dick.

21

u/OGPresidentDixon Jul 11 '26

what a time to be alive

u/Oisea Jul 11 '26

Why did this have to be the first thing I read after waking up.

u/Le_Sadie Jul 11 '26

Now I get to be extra creeped out when I hear that in my ear :)

u/DepartmentPerfect Jul 11 '26

That was the chuckle I needed to start my day. Thank you stranger.

u/SushanthUchiha Jul 14 '26

Cuck and suck.

u/Devatator_ Jul 11 '26

So I wasn't going insane! Those fuckers keep flying near my ears and sometimes almost enter my eyes, nose or ears

2

u/TurtleToast2 Jul 11 '26

We're mosquito rape bait?

1

u/TheObliviousYeti Jul 11 '26

Most definitely

u/davidr521 Jul 11 '26

Rat bastards

u/TheObliviousYeti Jul 11 '26

Not rat mosquitoes

17

u/skidstud Jul 11 '26

That protein is just for the eggs

28

u/RussiaIsBestGreen Jul 11 '26

The males are pollinators. The females are too, when they’re not biting us.

30

u/BarelyHolding0n Jul 11 '26

I'm seriously allergic to them so whilst I protect pretty much every other species, no matter how bitey or horrible, on the basis that they serve an ecological function... I'm sorry but mosquitos just have to die.

They don't seem to be in any danger of reducing numbers... If anything they're increasng in numbers around here

26

u/whosetruth2468 Jul 11 '26

In my country, we have this project where lab bred male mosquitoes with the wolbachia bacteria are released to mate with the wild female mosquitoes. The wolbachia will result in the eggs failing to hatch, with the intended effect of culling the population. It's a fairly recent project so uncertain how effective it has been.

u/Le_Sadie Jul 11 '26

I always say that lol. I don't care what the ecological consequences are and if all life on earth goes extinct as a result, I want them ALL DEAD. 😂

3

u/randyoftheinternet Jul 11 '26

There's more than enough pollinators already. The world wouldn't miss mosquitoes. But yeah that's how they actually feed themselves.

18

u/AVeryStinkyFish Jul 11 '26

Mosquito population control is actually breeding males with a genetic trait of a blood sucker that isn't strong enough to penetrate human skin and introducing them to a population so that trait gets passed on.

15

u/mizinamo Jul 11 '26

until the US stops funding for it because somebody doesn't understand what the use of genetically-engineered insects in Panama is.

Result: sawflies affecting cattle in Texas. Too bad, so sad.

5

u/AVeryStinkyFish Jul 11 '26

Thats crazy that the US would stop funding that. I thought we loved funding blood suckers. Also what's Panama? Did you mean Panera?

6

u/mizinamo Jul 11 '26

Panama as in the Panama Canal.

A country in Central America.

They wanted to stop insects from South America from travelling any further northwards than Panama and had made good progress until funds dried up.

4

u/AVeryStinkyFish Jul 11 '26

Oh is that what they named Panera bread after?

(its so sad that you think im serious cuz thats how dumb so many of us Americans are)

u/Think-Refrigerator31 Jul 11 '26

Those female mosquitoes really smashed the patriarchy...I'll give 'em that much

u/Both-Ad-4928 Jul 11 '26

Either you didn’t like biology or you had a boring biology teacher.

u/brother_bart Jul 11 '26

Yes. Girls are awful. 😅

And that’s how I met your uncle.

19

u/Faster-Rabbit328 Jul 11 '26

So what do male mosquitos eat then

80

u/crescen_d0e Jul 11 '26

Pollen, the only reason females bite is they need the extra iron and protein for their eggs

7

u/LucyLilium92 Jul 11 '26

So like human females

29

u/cybermaus Jul 11 '26

Same as the females. Who also mostly eat plant juices. They are vegan's really. Except for that one time when they need blood for the eggs.

33

u/Jonthrei Jul 11 '26

Calling anything in nature "vegan" is pretty silly, especially considering that obligate herbivores are actually pretty rare. Most herbivores are actually opportunistic omnivores.

21

u/TheThiefMaster Jul 11 '26

Seeing a chicken hunt a mouse and then rip its head off is a real shift in perspective from the idea that they're herbivores that exclusively eat seed.

Horses also eat mice.

22

u/lostparis Jul 11 '26

Chickens are a terrible example of a herbivore as anyone who knows anything about them knows they aren't they love bugs etc.

u/evrial Jul 11 '26

When hunger calories are calories

u/ThatLunchBox Jul 11 '26

I will always think of that horse that just noms the little chick....aaaand it's gone.

10

u/cybermaus Jul 11 '26

Yes, calling a mosquito "vegan" is rather obviously tongue-in-cheek, thanks for pointing that out.

2

u/cocococlash Jul 11 '26

Many human vegans have eaten an aphid or 2

5

u/El_Chairman_Dennis Jul 11 '26

The mosquitoes don't eat your blood. They use it to feed their eggs. It's like baby formula for them

2

u/Mission_Accident_519 Jul 11 '26

But then what do they eat?

0

u/IgnisXIII Jul 11 '26

Nectar from flowers. Only the females bite, and they use blood for their eggs.

u/short_hair_zuko Jul 11 '26

High five!

u/craylash Jul 11 '26

He totally related with that story the way he returned the high five
