    Actually it is only the female mosquitoes that suck blood. Male mosquitoes are pollinators that eat flower nectar.

    The biting female Anopheles mosquito may carry malaria. Male mosquitoes do not bite so cannot transmit malaria or other diseases.

    Male mosquitoes feed only on plant juices, such as nectar, to get the sugar they need for energy and survival.

    The kid doesn’t like vegetables and you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.

    It’s actually just female mozzies that drink blood, just before they’re about to lay eggs. Otherwise, they drink nectar from small flowers. So dad is a gentle vegan.

    Almost identical to an old Far Side cartoon. And it was Gary himself who noted that it’s only females who bite and spread disease…

    Not really all that important since this is a cartoon — reality not allowed — but the males don’t drink blood; only the females

    Junior would rather have Frosted Sugar Bombs instead of infected blood? Kids just don’t know how to eat healthy these days.
