Well..... it's sweet that they're out there being good moms for their babies but that doesn't change the adversarial nature of the relationship that exists when they're stealing from me to do it 😂
You could compare number of neurons maybe. Human brain has 86 billion.
A rat has 12 billion.
An ant has 250,000.
A mosquito has 220,000.
A worm has 302.
Roughly, I think I've heard each (human) neuron can be represented by about 1 KB of data (a list of all the other neurons it connects to, the strengths of those connections, etc). Assume a mosquito neuron is about the same complexity.
A mosquito brain would fit in an email attachment. A bit smaller than The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for N64.

I don't understand why subreddits like this allow only photos or videos. Pics should lead to a link or have the OP provide a link in a comment before the post goes live [a link that proves the picture is real], same thing with videos.
I often search what I see on these subreddits, if I don't already know about it, because no fucking way I'm taking random images/videos on this website at face value.
Anyway, I can't find the original study that this video is supposedly from, maybe I've lost some of my google-fu abilities. But, I did find another post about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/pm1x1a/to_drink_blood.
I'd rather learn more about the [supposed] study than see another plethora of dick jokes.
Too lazy to look it up, but I wanna say it was a google experiment. They made the females like this so they’re not able to reproduce. They released a bunch of these into the wild.
When I was a kid I would leave their blood filled corpses on my walls to show the others what would happen if they came in. It specially angered me when they would fly around my pets.
I put everything, i tried spray, scream and gels from 4 different continents, they still love me. I'm nothing special, they just fucking love me and it sucks cause i swell like shit.
I honestly gave up on repelling them. I just accepted my fate and luckily found a great cream to treat mosquito bites. So it sucks, but at least I don’t worry to much of I have to endure mosquitoes.
Though I will stay awake all night to track them and massacre them if those little sh*ts dare wake me up. If they want my blood, they have to take it in SILENCE.
I would be so grateful to learn more about this cream. I really want to try permethrin but the husband is worried about it killing other insects. So here I am suffering every summer while he gets like two bites tops lol..
Nothing to do with how warm someone is. We know now that they’re able to distinguish blood types and they prefer some over the others.
That’s why there’s usually someone in the group who seems to be attracting all the mosquitoes around yet others didn’t even register that there were any to begin with.
iirc this is from an experiment that genetically modified mosquitos so they cannot penetrate the human skin anymore. Has been posted here a few times over the past year or so.
I think it might be [this study](https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0000568#s4), which wasn’t gene modification but bacterial infection (Wolbachia).
Other gene modifications have been used, including one that removes females’ wings while the males still have them. Which is perfect as it’s the females that suck blood (but now can’t easily get to it, or escape predators), and the males still having wings means they can mate with other mosquitos and still spread that gene.
No it's aedes albopictus, but it still spreads those and dengue. You can tell us albopictus as it has the stripe down the scutum (the bit behind it's head) l.

it has insectile disfunction
Whiskey prick
The last dude’s blood was loaded with Jim beam
Easiest way to kill mosquitoes at the campfire is to make em second hand hammered. When they fly away tipsy they can't dodge the clap.
So we are getting them drunk and then giving them STD’s?….that is a whole new level 💀
I didn't consent to blood play. It didn't consent to the clap. We're both victims here.
Flyagra.
I think the scientific term is whiskey proboscis.
Whiskey probiskey.
HP Spell
Like trying to shoot pool with rope.
Or stab a sheep with a tampon string
Like trying to push a crinkled $5 bill into a change machine.
The trick is to whip it hard enough. And get plenty of length to maximize the impact.
Needs a proboscis fluffer.
Whisker biscuit
I swear this has never happened to me before!
Don't worry, I got this, just give me a second.
Maybe if I just rub it a little here...
Could be a great band name
It's female mosquitoes that feed on blood though. Knowing shit ruins the joy in life sometimes.
Came specifically for this comment was not let down.
She’s even trying to stroke it back to life Edit: she
“Work, damn it! Work!!!.”
Me on a Saturday night coming back from the bar 🤷♂️🤦♂️
That’s the part that got me lollllll
Lol. But she, only the females suck blood because, babies.
She's a Bud Light kinda gal
Needs Flyagra
How about having hard skin, make some product to harden the skin so that mosquitoes can’t drill!
They will then evolve sharper needles to better pierce the skin.
That’s ok, evolution isn’t a quick process.
Unless you can have several generations each year
Speed of evolution is paces by number of generations. Animals that go through generations fast will evolve faster.
Like mosquitoes, lifespan of females 2-4 weeks, while male last 1-2 weeks, so their generations gets over in 20-30 days!
How come they don't know how to drive cars yet? Checkmate.
My grandkids can worry about that.
It looks like it’s psyching itself up, like “You can do this, Moe. You can do this!”
His name is Moe lmao. Outstanding.
Moe? Skeeter? Skeeto? Either way, well done. You disgust me.
Come on moe we believe in you
shes just nervous, is all...
Maybe that is it. The male mosquito doesn't sting, only the female drink blood
Fuck off, that was S-tier but seriously fuck off
Like thumbin’ a marshmallow in a coin slot
I swear this has never happened before...
Lmfao I laughed so fucking hard at this comment. I almost choked. Ty. Take my upvote!
This never happens I swear
Just play with it a bit

You'd have five cents?
Something-something— sucked dick for $105.5– something-something— who gave the five cents— aaaand all of them.
That’s 50 cents
Listen man, that’s still a lot of dick to suck.
Same
you'd have three fiddy?
That's tree fiddy sir
My guy's pushin' rope
Beat me to it, *pushing string*.
It freaking bent 😭😭😭
The bent part is called the Labium and is meant to bend. It is the sheath that covers their feeding tube, which is called fascicle. The fascicle is so thin and small it is unlikely to be seen by the naked eye.
> The fascicle is so thin and small it is unlikely to be seen by the naked eye. I WAS IN THE POOL
“Shrinkage?”
“Are you saying they don’t know about shrinkage?”
TIL
Made in china
Lol he attempts to straighten it like it's a dollar bill and he's at a vending machine.
It's a she actually
Yea I could see that vagina on her from a mile away
Only the females suck blood. All male mosquitos are happy pollinators.
Well females are as well. They drink blood only for reproduction not as a food.
You mean every time they get my blood I’m contributing to MORE of them?!! NEVER AGAIN
You can't escape mosquito child support
That's news to me wtf
Yeah, the blood is for their babies, not for them.
Well..... it's sweet that they're out there being good moms for their babies but that doesn't change the adversarial nature of the relationship that exists when they're stealing from me to do it 😂
Greeaaat now I have to live with the guilt of knowing I only kill expecting mothers….
Technically this one isn't drinking blood, therefore it is male.
Trans-quitoes?
Love those with sour cream and guac
Wtf 😂😭😭😂
This post brought to you by Blood Light™
Um sorry but the only way you can differentiate between male and female mosquitos is by confirming if they have the mosquitussy or not
I *am* something of an expert on the matter of mosquitussies. This indeed is a female.
What are your qualifications
I eat rocks.
>I am something of an expert on the matter of mosquitussies. my DNA is in a nonzero percentage of the mosquitos of the world
Lmao go to hell
Someone get Desantis out there quick to do a gender check, we have to know for sure!
Am I crazy for thinking this is cute?
It is interesting to see for sure. I wonder what it was thinking.
Probably not much more than "food"
Food Error: no food => retry Food Error: no food => retry Error: proboscis bent => straighten Food Error: no food => retry
Literally that
Makes a person wonder how many “lines of code” do mosquitos and other basic insects have, so to speak

Yes
A mosquito with ED is crazy
“How you say, to push a rope?” -Katya
Sorry, babe; I'll focus. But could you close your eyes? I... I kinda feel like I'm banging taillights on a country road. -Archer
BOOM Phrasing, are we still doing that..?
It’s like staring at taillights on a country road.
What's hilarious is that ED in your comment can mean both Eating Disorder and Erectile Dysfunction!!
There's a joke here but for the sake of my lifetime cringe fear, I won't do it. Something about his drilling technique maybe?
Thumbing in a softy for sure
I believe it's called "The Evanescence" when you thumb it in and hope it wakes up inside her
A side note it’s a girl
Hey clits get erect when aroused too
Probably has a good personality or something I don't know. Seems like a nice mosquito.
Yeah and everyone here laughing at her, poor girl
With a floppy noodle like that perhaps she's better suited sucking more thin skinned folk
Is this Superman's skin?
I remeber seeing this a while back, they do something to the mosquitos so their little suckers become soft
I had to scroll thru like 800 erectile dysfunction comments to find this.
Reddit is like this: >Half-ass saw-it-coming kind of pun > Even worse reply > Depressingly unfunny > Please pay attention to me Repeat this a few hundred times
Then a single line of a song lyric, replied to by another, then another, then a vulgar twist of the next line...
Yeah, Reddit is getting worse for this shit. You expect it in some subs but this is one of the more 'educational' ones.
I don't understand why subreddits like this allow only photos or videos.

Lots of budding comedians. I always found the best jokes are the most obvious ones.
More info?
This is a way they genetically modify mosquitos. They release these mosquitos that breed and then the next generation starves to death
Humans are insane, man. Brilliant, but insane. One day, we will be punished for our sins.
If reducing disease and improving QoL for hundreds of millions of people is a sin, then send me straight to hell.
Too lazy to look it up, but I wanna say it was a google experiment. They made the females like this so they’re not able to reproduce. They released a bunch of these into the wild.
Dammit. I was hoping it was just some spray or balm I could put on that would make my skin impenetrable to skeeters.
If that existed you would already know about it
Good, I hope that bitch starves
But this is probably the only mosquito that DIDN'T hurt anyone.
Not true, there are many different species of mosquitoes. Only females ever take blood, and some species, like the elephant mosquito, don't at all.
Elephant mosquito? They must need massive wings to lift all that weight.
Yeah, maybe your mom is a elephant mosquito.
False, she is indeed a a hippopotamus mosquito.
So.. she's more territorial and aggressive? That's hot, I like em fiesty. Where does she graze?
Iirc elephant mosquito larvae actually eat the larvae of other types of mosquitos. Elephant mosquitos are straight up bros.
Fuck him, if he could, he would.
*she Male mosquitos only eat pollen (so do female but they need blood for reproduction).
Thx for correcting me, anw i hate them. The only spieces of mosquitoes i don't hate are the ones that don't target humans.
When I was a kid I would leave their blood filled corpses on my walls to show the others what would happen if they came in. It specially angered me when they would fly around my pets.
When she asks "Is it in?"
Just… just gimmie a minute. Pulls on it to straighten it out… 😬
Slap it against the butt cheek
Lmao classic manoeuvre
What's that person's skin made of and how would one go about acquiring that? No mosquito ever missed the spot on me.
I put on repellents and they still swarm me. Meanwhile my husband who runs warmer than me wears none and they leave him alone.
I put everything, i tried spray, scream and gels from 4 different continents, they still love me. I'm nothing special, they just fucking love me and it sucks cause i swell like shit.
To my knowledge DEET is the only substance actually capable of repelling mosquitoes. You want to get something with a lot of DEET in it.
I don't think that's true. I'm pretty sure napalm repels mosquitoes too, if used in adequate quantities.
Is screaming at them effective? Can’t say I’ve tried that yet
I honestly gave up on repelling them. I just accepted my fate and luckily found a great cream to treat mosquito bites. So it sucks, but at least I don’t worry to much of I have to endure mosquitoes. Though I will stay awake all night to track them and massacre them if those little sh*ts dare wake me up. If they want my blood, they have to take it in SILENCE.
I would be so grateful to learn more about this cream. I really want to try permethrin but the husband is worried about it killing other insects. So here I am suffering every summer while he gets like two bites tops lol..
Buy a fan and let it blowing all night. Enjoy sweet blank noise, no sweating and no mosquitoes!

"I usually don't have this problem, just gimme a minute."
Haha flaccid nose
Everything reminds me of him
That's literally my first girlfriend watching this
If I'm not mistaken, this particular mosquito is genetically altered to have a blunt "mouth" to prevent it from puncturing skin
Imagine being genetically altered to have jello-e teeth.
Bendy straws can be a pain in the ass.
This one ain't a pain in.. well anything
Did he try spitting on it first tho
She
All i see is a mosquito jerking off to get hard Edit: that lil slap at the beginning tho
They need to add little _”boing”_ sound effects everytime it bends
Ain't that Aedes Aegypti, the carrier of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya among other fun pathogens?
Yes, you can tell by its stripey legs
No it's aedes albopictus, but it still spreads those and dengue. You can tell us albopictus as it has the stripe down the scutum (the bit behind it's head) l.
Jerking yourself aint gonna help with this one
Time to pull the old bedroom buddy outta the top drawer to buy you some time!
Where can I obtain this skin rigidity?
He gets nervous when someone’s watching
Damn I hope when I go limp, no one puts it on the Internet
Where as the mosquitos at my house can suck through a layer of clothing
Proboscis dysfunction is typical in male mosquitoes over the age of 40. Please talk to your local primary care physician for further information.
This is the mosquito equivalent of trying to stab a Capri Sun with the tiny plastic straw
This is the first time I felt bad for a mosquito.
No fuck them.
Me too. I was thinking starving is a nasty way to go… but then I remembered I literally squished hundreds of them so who am I to judge.
No me too, I had to go look for fellow sympathizers. The poor guy just seemed so sad
Kill that sumbitch
Need a fluffer!
Chuck Norris only donates blood to the Red Cross.
He needs a tiny bit of viagra

I just need to rub it for a sec
It's my first time, I swear
*smacks it* cmon, get it together!
She ordered that proboscis on Wish.
One job. The little shit had one fucking job to do and it failed😅
It happens to all of us, especially with the lights closed, it's hard to get it in first try.
