Mosquito biting human skin - 4K stock video
Close-up of a mosquito (Culex pipiens) feeding on a human. It uses its long sharp proboscis to pierce the skin and drink blood from small blood vessels. The mosquito's saliva contains anticoagulants that prevent clotting and allow the mosquito to feed. It can also carry pathogens such as the malaria parasite into the blood. Only the females feed on blood, which is important for egg development. The males feed mostly on nectar
