I read #MosquitoSuperhero

and got really excited...

"I am not loved. Those like me have never been loved. To live on blood, to live on the wing, it is a curse-- but, I only bite bankers, lobbyists and landlords. And this I do as a form of instruction-- the dairyman will learn what it is to be milked! I am: Mosquito MAN!"

(though I think it needs to be mosquito woman come to think of it... the males don't bite, do they? Or maybe mosquito man CHOOSES to bite.)

@futurebird I don't think male mosquitoes _can_ bite. He could carry a sharpened metal straw or something though, I guess.

@ersatzmaus @futurebird I suspect males could bite, but they don't. ("for both male and female adults, nectar is a mosquito's main food source")
females need blood for eggs.
