Seen up close, the anatomy of a mosquito bite is terrifying. The most dangerous animal in the world uses six needle-like mouthparts to saw into our skin, tap a blood vessel and sometimes leave a dangerous parting gift.

DEEP LOOK is a ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.
Scientists have discovered that the mosquito’s mouth, called a proboscis isn’t just one tiny spear. It’s a sophisticated system of thin needles, each of which pierces the skin, finds blood vessels and makes it easy for mosquitoes to suck blood out of them.
Male mosquitoes don’t bite us, but when a female mosquito pierces the skin, a flexible lip-like sheath called the labium scrolls up and stays outside as she pushes in six needle-like parts that scientists refer to as stylets.
Two of these needles, called maxillae, have tiny teeth. The mosquito uses them to saw through the skin. They’re so sharp you can barely feel the mosquito biting you.
“They’re like drill bits,” said University of California, Davis, biochemist Walter Leal.
Another set of needles, the mandibles, hold tissues apart while the mosquito works.
Then the sharp-tipped labrum needle probes under the skin, piercing a vessel and sucking blood from it.
The sixth needle - called the hypopharynx - drools saliva into us, and delivers chemicals that keep our blood flowing. Mosquito saliva also makes our blood vessels dilate, blocks our immune response and lubricates the proboscis. It causes us to develop itchy welts, and serves as a conduit for dangerous viruses and parasites.

---+ What is the deadliest animal in the world?
Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world to us humans. The diseases they transmit kill hundreds of thousands of people each year.
---+ How many people get malaria each year?
In 2015, malaria, the deadliest mosquito-borne disease, killed roughly 635,000 people, mostly children under the age of five and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa.
---+ What diseases do mosquitoes transmit?
Malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile and Zika are some of the diseases that mosquitoes transmit.
Dengue fever, transmitted Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, is estimated to make almost 400 million people sick with jabbing joint pain each year.
Scientists also believe that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the main culprit for more than 350 confirmed cases of congenital malformations associated with the Zika virus in the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Since last October, an unusually high number of babies have been born there with small heads and a host of health problems like convulsions, suspected of being caused by a Zika virus infection early in their mother’s pregnancy.
---+ What diseases can I get from mosquitoes in the United States?
West Nile virus is the most important of several mosquito-transmitted viruses now native to the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Yes, that was a rather nonsensical sentence. Naturally a biologist or an epidemiologists might test the blood - but what they show is a mosquito getting slapped.

Seriously. How in the world did you record under the skin to capture that incredible footage of the mosquito’s needle probing around and sucking the blood. That footage is absolutely amazing.
I saw in another comment, they use mouse tissue to record the other side
IKR, so good
Well, in the early seventies cameras were already capable of filming the fertilization exact moment. I remember seeing this in a cover of a _Paris Match_ Magazine.
I thought it was from one of the parasitic "gifts" left in a victim by a mosquito.... parasite just happened to have a GoPro...

Despite how loathsome they are, you have to admit their techniques are quite impressive.
Wait, are you on their side??
Yup...we imagine all kinds of monsters and ghosts...while the ones that kill us most are barely an inch in size
That’s evolution for ya.
Shutout to the cameraman for shrinking down to such a minute size and recording this
Yow
Yes😂😂
every creature has a certain role on this planet......and then there are these mosquitoes......
Abel Thomas their role is to kill
They r important for a group of birds who migrate to Canada, they r there main source of food and some frogs wholly depend on mosquitoes if they were dead then they would wait for them till they starve to death and these mentioned animals r food for other animals so even a slight variation in ecosystem can cause a grave imbalance.
Haha nice...
Abel Thomas they kill humans, the things that kill the earth.

A friend of mine said if he got stung by a mosquito, he always wait for the mosquito to get full so he can kill the mosquito better. What a weirdo but he's still alive and still doing that stuff lol.

Mosquitoes are so bad in Louisiana, it's considered the state bird. You can feel the needle when it pierce your skin through denim. But fortunately, with chemicals and better personal awareness, it's gotten better over the years.
I hate that mosquitoes sounds 😡

sometimes more disturbing than their bites

Don't need six needles for that

It's actually our blood inside their stomach
I thought it was just them spitting saliva inside us
I swear whenever you smack a mosquito they disappear
frrr its so annoying
Exactly. I expect them to be dead laying on you, which looks like a black dot on your skin. But noooo, they fly off.
Seconds later you hear a buzzing noise by your ear.

“They’re so sharp you can barely feel her pushing.”
As someone who’s been bitten thousands of times, no you CANNOT feel her pushing AT ALL.
Sometimes you can. I think it depends on where they bite you and also on the size of the mosquitos in question. Larger mosquitos do apparently have more painful bites.
They are our enemies, but really intriguing. I found this very informative.👍🏽 Here, have my sub.

This is why I cover my whole body with my blanket when I go to sleep .-.
Same here
me too, oh and vampires. everyone knows if you cover you neck at night with a blanket vampires can't bite you.
what if they get trapped under your blanket?
WILLY LYNCH What kind of fool told you that? Its not like vampires actually need blood anyway.
Tiny Waffelz u gotta put a fan on to prevent them
This is very well done video
Ugh skeevy. Gives me the chills. One thing I love about winter. Very few bugs
Shoutout to the person whos willing to give up weeks of comfort.
cool
Yea

Thankfully it's not like an illness is 100% guaranteed though. I've gotten my blood sucked by mosquitoes almost every week for 17 years and I've never gotten sick because of them.
would still be itchy for a week tho
How dare you!
Sucking my blood and peed on me at the same time!

For some reason mosquitoes love me in the summer time and even sometimes I'm a late autumn. Even with bug spray. Thank heaven I haven't gotten sick yet.
Got real itchy watching this
"From under the skin, you can see her probing, looking for a blood vessel"
How did you even film that.
Nah cuz literally I’m genuinely curious
From the dashcam of a white blood cell
Those little humans who are living inside us recorded it
Yeah I was thinking the ssme
i think that was a lab growned skin
They don't even ask for consent first.

are you saying that you had mercy before? that's weird

And if tge get extinc nothing bad will happen, the are useless in nature

Here's an interesting fact for you ZuTu. Mosquitoes can't suck blood, they use the pumping of our hearts to get it. And since they can only feed only completely fresh blood, labs that have to breed mosquitoes for research do it by having a designated person stick their hand in and letting the few hundred or thousand mosquitoes in there get their fill. How's that for a fun job?
Those are lab grown mosquitos with no exposure to parasites and disease. He's fine

thats what they are doing for a long time actually if i remember right
than it will take a long time

pain? on a blood test? what? There is like no pain when it's done right.

Yoo those water drops..I found a blood filled mosquito few days ago and for the 1st time I noticed it was releasing water drops when I put it on a paper. It released water for quite a long time. I thought I was gonna search why but I forgot. Today this video came looking for me.
Then you realize they had to hire people to get bit by a mosquito to make this video.. can you imagine just looking at a mosquito on your arm sucking your blood..
I can, I just did
MissDragonborn lol I used to do this as a kid all the time, was curious
Yes. Craziest thing to do is if you see a mosquito getting you, wait until its super plump then flex your muscles in the area and if you're lucky enough if it's on a good vein you can make it explode slightly. I've done it about 2-3 times in my life.
how does something explode slightly?
I guess you could say its more of a burst. Doesnt send anything flying but you can see them pop

This is actually really scary but at the same time educational because now we know that only females bite us and then we know which one to avoid and for the six needles are actually really smart for the mosquito
