Q.

Male mosquitoes take their food from

A. human blood
B. standing water
C. sap of plants
D. dung and debris
Answer» C. sap of plants
Explanation: Both male and female mosquitoes eat the same things—nectar, plant sap, or honeydew (a sticky substance excreted by aphid s) for energy. But only female mosquitoes imbibe a blood meal. The females need the protein in blood platelets to develop eggs. Male mosquitoes don't have specific mouthparts to pierce skin and access blood vessels.
