=> 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.
