Answer:

She requires blood to produce eggs. Her mouthparts are constructed so that they pierce the skin, literally sucking the blood out. Her saliva lubricates the opening. It's the saliva plus the injury to the skin that creates the stinging and irritation we associate with mosquito bites.

Answer:

only female mosquitoes bite because they need blood, not for food, but to produce eggs. In fact, a mosquito, male or female, can live quite well without biting, just licking sugary substances such as the nectar of flowers. But a female will not lay eggs (or, in some species, only a few) if it does not manage to find a vertebrate whose blood it can suck. The reason is that a nectar diet, despite being very energetic, does not provide enough proteins (amino acids) or other substances necessary for the generation of eggs, the oogenesis. And this has been proven experimentally: if a good combination of amino acids is injected into a female mosquito, it will produce eggs without having to ingest blood.
