Proboscis is a long protruded modified mouth part of some species of insect used for feeding by means of sucking sap of plant, blood from animals, or other forms of fluid.
The mosquitoes proboscis is a quite interesting one, the microscopic study of such has gotten the world science fold awoken to look back again before making a fight with the mosquito.
The most disturbing thing is that mosquitoes proboscis revealed after intense research revealed that their are also smaller sucking needles embedded inside the one is even known before. The six needles are well adapted for different purpose, some are used for sucking blood, some serves as means of introducing plasmodium into the human, another also serve as detective arsenal.
All these are joined together in making a successful blood feeding
NOTE: Not all mosquitoes that bite a person will introduce plasmodium, the issue of releasing plasmodium is a reflex, more like given the individual a pat on the back for a good blood meal.
These remains the reason why Mosquitoes remain viable and the sickness they cause remain ever dangerous to the human kind since its difficult to still know it all, just more mysteries each time
