What is a green mosquito?

Green mosquito is a male mosquito and is called Chironomid Mosquito.

Male mosquitoes usually don't bite. They mainly feed on the sap of plants. Plant juice is rich in chlorophyll, which is an important substance in plant photosynthesis. When male mosquitoes suck plant juice, their bodies absorb chlorophyll, which makes them appear green. Green mosquitoes are generally one of the characteristics of male mosquitoes. In contrast, female mosquitoes feed on blood. Female mosquitoes need to feed on the host's blood for nutrition to support the development of eggs. The mouth structure of female mosquitoes is suitable for piercing the skin of the host to suck blood. Female mosquitoes usually have a dark or transparent appearance because they absorb iron ions in the blood when they suck blood.
