Interesting choice to give them boobs. Not that the average reader cares that its only female mosquitoes that bite.

[–] artifex@piefed.social 25 points 2 days ago

I never check for boobs before squashing them. They all must die.

Only female mosquitoes drink blood, so it sort of checks out.

i once saw a video of aedis ageypti drinking a caterpillars hemolyph, since they usually target mammals and not other insects.

Where do you think they keep the blood

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Pee is stored in the balls, and... blood is stored in the boobs?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Why do they have tits? Like I know they're trying to show they are female, although anyone who knows anything about mosquitoes should already know that, but tits? They need to put them on mosquitoes?

A tough case to crack huh, detective. 🧐

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

will 100% be binge drinking myself into an existential crisis over this

[–] CustardFist 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Please don’t. I’ll tell you.
Only female mosquitoes bite and drink blood for getting the protein they need for producing eggs.
Hence the boobs under the skin tight sweaters.

it's okay, I was actually going to do the alcoholic existential crisis anyway 👈😎👈 but now I have the true mosquitoe tiddy lore in addition to that so it's a win/win/win

You don't need a reason for existential crisis but it helps!

The blood suckers are all females. Males don't bother humans.

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I ask myself that everytime I watch One Punch Man and reach episode 2

The Japanese are not afraid to give a mosquito monster tits and ass and sexy camera pans lol

hmm yeah that was telegraphing the media that it was parodying. maybe this is too. maybe there's a particular boomer comic that has ridiculous animals with tits and I'm just not getting the reference

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 9 points 2 days ago

Blood for the blood god!

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seriously....

They can have all the blood they want. Just stop leaving itchy bumps and stop flying into my ears

[–] CustardFist 9 points 2 days ago

Yes. I would happily punch myself in the nose and bleed into a cup if they would stop making me punch myself in the ear several times a night. 😤

[–] grandma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Try putting a spoon under hot water and pressing it on a recent bite, idk how it works but it's incredibly effective.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

Sexualizing mosquitoes by giving them giant tits is kinda creepy, bruh.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes.

Also try tiger balm for the bites or if you are at home a hot compress.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Cortisone cream is excellent stuff for bug bites.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They gave them breasts. I can't.
