How can you tell the difference between male and female mosquitoes?
A female mosquito has a ridged proboscis to pierce human and animal skin. Because of the serrated edges of her proboscis, her bite usually goes undetected until the itchiness sets in. A male mosquito has a proboscis, but it does not have ragged edges for biting. Male mosquitoes are slightly smaller than females. Only female mosquitoes make that annoying mosquito sound that puts you on red alert. Females are usually the ones that bite humans.
