If a mosquito is sucking your blood, does using your muscles make the mosquito unable to fly away?

Question

If a mosquito is sucking your blood, does using your muscles keep it from flying away? How does it work (if it actually works)?

Answer 1

Lol, I don't think that would work, but it sounds very funny...

But wouldn't you WANT them to fly away??

I have NO idea if it works by the way.

Sounds like something mythbusters would do.

Answer 2

I've heard if you flex you can shoot blood into them and make them pop.  Seems like they'd just quit drinking, or at least the pressure would blow their nose out of your skin before it made them burst.  I'd like to know if that one's true.

Answer 3

I dont think so coz the moosquito only inserts its proboscis (mouthpart) into the bloodstream which is located in the dermal area and it is unlikely to insert its proboscis into the muscle coz its mouthpart is not tat long enough to penetrate. So, there is no way that ur muscles will make it unable to fly.

Answer 4

No, they don't plunge in as far to the muscle.

Answer 5

That is one of most interesting question i ever heard. :))

Well,   you use muscles to make any kind of movements. So, yes you can use muscles to move fingers and trap the mosquito , etc.

But, I doubt if anyone could use the muscle cells in vicinity of mosquito bite to trap the mosquito,  .......oh wait, I think  a Buddhist monk or a martial artist  master could do that; remember  the karate kid movie, the master could trap the fly by chop sticks, and that required  using  muscles !! :)

Answer 6

To reach the muscles, it takes us humans a knife, if you use a needle and stick it in your leg as far as you can you might actually reach the muscles.
