hi mate,
=> When the female mosquito pierces the skin, a flexible liplike sheath scrolls up and stays outside as the insect pushes in the six needlelike parts.
=> Two of these needles, called maxillae, have tiny teeth that let the mosquito saw through human skin.
=> Note the sawing motion as an Anopheles mosquito bites a human arm.
=> A mosquito's proboscis has 47 sharp edges on its tip to help it cut through skin and even protective layers of clothing.
=> Perhaps this is where the rumor of “mosquito teeth” comes from.
=> Unlike human teeth, however, these sharp edges are not used to chew food since blood is already in a liquid form.
I hope it helps you.
