Yes, only female mosquitoes bite. Female mosquitoes require a blood meal to obtain the necessary nutrients for egg development. They have specialized mouthparts called proboscis, which they use to pierce the skin of their host and extract blood. Male mosquitoes, on the other hand, do not feed on blood. They primarily feed on plant nectar and other sugary substances to obtain energy for flight and other activities.
