Male mosquitoes take their food from

Options

A. human blood
B. standing water
C. sap of plants
D. dung and debris

Answer

C

Explanation

Both male and female mosquitoes eat the same things-nectar, plant sap, or honeydew (a sticky substance excreted by aphids)—for energy. But only female mosquitoes imbibe a blood meal. The females need the protein in blood platelets to develop eggs. Male mosquitoes don.t have specific mouthparts to pierce skin and access blood vessels.
