Both male and female mosquitoes are nectar feeders, but the females of many species are also capable of drinking blood. Females do not require blood for their own survival, but they do need supplemental substances such as protein and iron to develop eggs.Prior to and during blood feeding, they inject saliva into the bodies of their source(s) of blood. This saliva serves as an anticoagulant without it, the female mosquito's proboscis would quickly become clogged with blood clots.
