    Mosquito mouthparts
Description:
Mosquitoes have mouth parts that are well-suited for piercing the skins of plants and mammals. Whilst males commonly feed on nectars and plant juices, females require a "blood meal" in order to reproduce, and will often bite humans. Because of this, mosquitoes are notorious for spreading diseases that are carried in the blood, such as malaria.
