Female mosquitoes live by sucking blood from animals and can pass on the deadly disease malaria. What do male mosquitoes feed on?
مادہ مچھر جانوروں کا خون چوس کر زندہ رہتی ہیں اور ملیریا کی مہلک بیماری کو منتقل کر سکتی ہیں۔ نر مچھر کیا کھاتے ہیں؟
Answer: Nectar
Explanation
In female mosquitoes, this mouth part pierces the skin of a person or animal and sucks out blood.
The male's proboscis is not strong enough to pierce the skin, and males do not feed on blood.
Both female and male mosquitoes use the proboscis to feed on flower nectar and fruit juices
