Mosquito face

The animal you see in the photo is a mosquito. It looks basic and yet it is built like a perfect machine.

Upon examination with an electron microscope and other modern devices, the mosquito forms as follows:

  • On his little head there are exactly 100 eyes and in his mouth
  • In his mouth, which can hardly be seen even under a microscope, there are 48 teeth!
  • In the chest, one for the center and two for the wings, there are 3 hearts and in each heart 2 auricles and 2 ventricles.
  • This little mosquito has a heat receptor to find living things with heat. The heat sensitivity of this device is one thousandth of a degree Celsius.
  • A very advanced blood analyzer, and also an anesthetic device to easily absorb the blood, so that its victim does not react to the sting.
  • And also an anticoagulant device to be able to absorb the blood.
  • There are six tiny blades on its suction pipe; with four of them he makes a square incision and with the other two he forms a tube to absorb the blood.
  • They also have claws and hooks on their feet to hold on to their food source.
