Diet:

Mosquitoes use a variety of ways to find their food sources including chemical, visual, and heat sensors. All mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices; however, in most species the females have adapted for piercing the skin of animals and humans and sucking their blood as another food source. In many species, the female needs the nutrients from a blood meal in order to produce eggs and others need it to produce more eggs than she would without a blood meal.

Mosquitoes are known to prefer type O blood, heavy breathers, as well as hosts with a lot of skin bacteria, people with a lot of body heat, and the pregnant females.
