True or False? Mosquitoes loose their sucker and die after they bite.?

Question

Is this really true? Or is this just what everyone wants to be true?

Answer 1

It is false

Answer 2

False. If it happens then they can't reproduce

Answer 3

False.  Bees loose their stingers, but mosquitoes do not loose their proboscis.  THAT's how they spread pathogens from one creature to another - multiple bites.

Answer 4

False a mosquito can bite you and then go to the next person and bite them too.

Answer 5

You are thinking of bees, bees lose their barbed stinger when they sting and then they die. Mosquitos don't die after they bite.

Answer 6

i don't think it is!

Answer 7

No, and I have never heard anyone that thinks that, actually.  You apparently are confusing with some bees.  the stingers of some bees are barbed, sort of like a fishhook, and after they sting you the stinger gets stuck inside your skin.  They actually pull their own butts off trying to remove the stinger, which is generally fatal for the bee. The "stinger" of a mosquito is smooth and easy to pull out.

Answer 8

F

Answer 9

Only female mosquitoes bite, they don't die nor do they lose there sucker  that is how they spread blood disease.
