the female mosquito is not considered as parasite, although it's need our blood for reproduction? why?
Answers
An organism which is dependent on their host for nutrition is considered a Parasite. The mosquito could not called parasite because it needs blood for reproduction not for nutrition.
As we know male mosquito can survive on plant nectar, the female need high amount of protein for egg laying so it crave for blood.
Another factor is that parasite is dependent on their host for long period of time. Mosquitoes are not like this they suck blood from an organism and leave.
