Can a mosquito bite twice?


"I can assure you that mosquitoes can bite more than once, as most will lay multiple egg masses (each one requiring a blood meal) if they live long enough - see the last paragraph at http://www.wordsources.info/words-mod-mosquitoesPt2.html Also, a female mosquito that is interrupted before obtaining a full blood meal usually will return (often to a different host) to attempt another feeding. See:http://www.ajtmh.org/cgi/content/full/72/2/198 for an article on multiple host feeding" ... http://en.allexperts.com/q/Entomology-Study-Bugs-665/mosquito-bite-twice.htm
