Explanation:
There is no need for mosquitoes to have any teeth, because they do not digest food in the same way people would. Mosquitoes feed on liquids (nectar), not solid food

Answer:
mosquitoes do not have teeth.
- They have a proboscis for injecting their saliva, and for sucking out the blood.
- However, the tubes of the proboscis itself cannot penetrate the skin on its own.
- Mosquitoes actually have cutting edges as well with their proboscis.
- A mosquito’s proboscis has 47 sharp edges on its tip to help it cut through skin and even protective layers of clothing.
