Out For Blood

Posted by william on August 4, 2004

Q: how many times can one mosquitoe bite

A: A mosquito can bite many times if it needs to. Once a female gets a good blood meal, it won't need to feed again but I'm sure some females are brushed away before they get enough blood and must try again until they do. So, a female can bite multiple times but probably does so only once, or just a few, times.
