Mosquito's name originates from the Spanish word signifying "minimal fly". Essentially mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, also on honey bees.

As a matter of fact, female mosquitoes suck blood so as to help with the advancement of their eggs before laying them. Male mosquitoes don't benefit from the blood by any means.
