If only female mosquitoes drink blood, then what do male mosquitoes drink?

Question

Female mosquitoes suck blood, but male mosquitoes don't. What do the male mosquitoes drink?

Answer 2

The male mosquito can get along just fine slurping nectar, but the female has to feed on blood in order to lay eggs.  

Answer 3

What does every male drink? Beer ....silly!

Answer 4

orange juice???

Answer 5

Male mosquiteos live on plant juice.

Not 'nectar', but the juice that flows inside the plants -- mostly sugar water.

Answer 6

Females need blood to develop fertile eggs. Since males do not lay eggs, they do not bite. It goes on to say:

Few people realize that mosquitoes rely on sugar as their main source of energy. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, fruit juices and liquids that ooze from plants. The sugar is burned as fuel for flight and is replenished on a daily basis. Blood is reserved for egg production and is imbibed less frequently.

So it appears the males rely solely on sugar sources for their energy.

Answer 7

plant juice (nectar and fruit)

Answer 8

Both male and female mosquitoes "drink" nectar from flowers, and are important pollinators of many plant species, especially in the tropics.  The nectar from flowers is enough for mosquitoes to keep them going.  However, in order to make eggs, which are costly in terms of protein (something which nectar lacks),female mosquitoes drink blood.  So your blood only really goes toward egg production, not survival.

Answer 9

Nothing.  They're only use is to make more baby mosquitoes.
