A mosquito's proboscis has 47sharp 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.

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.

I hope it helps you.
