When mosquitoes bite, we often only see the aftermath: a swollen red bump that leaves us itchy and annoyed. In this video, learn how a mosquito bites by watching what happens when it encounters human flesh. As the mosquito slowly draws blood from its human prey, its body gradually fills with blood over the course of a minute and a half, until it is satiated and flies away.
