It's not. You should develop some science literacy if you think that sounds made up and don't know how to verify it yourself. Ofc, I will say every species is a little different and not every single mosquito species even bites humans for example. But as a general rule, yeah, I'm right.

Only the female mosquito bites and feeds on the blood of humans or other animals. https://www.epa.gov/mosquitocontrol/mosquito-life-cycle#:~:text=Only%20the%20female%20mosquito%20bites,conditions%20for%20a%20few%20months.

an adult female flea lays eggs following a blood meal from the host https://www.petmd.com/dog/parasites/evr_multi_understanding_the_flea_life_cycle

After a female tick feeds and is engorged with blood, she releases pheromones to attract a mate. https://mosquitojoe.com/blog/understanding-the-tick-lifecycle/

The female then must locate a blood-meal to complete development of her eggs. https://mmcd.org/black-fly-life-cycle/

For the roosters - this is a well recorded and observed behavior you can watch on TT or wherever. Not all roos do it, but it's pretty common nonetheless with thousands of videos observing this: https://youtu.be/ynhzfbZ0oGk?si=vhEtGxP5VI33sB-L

You forget the scientific study that came to the conclusion that blood sucking and meat eating is a female thing.

it is exclusivly YOU that made the connection. You said MOST species, you mentioned like a handfull. You had this gothic romantic idea, and you chose these papers to fit you idea.

you should develop some sience literacy.

you should not make up stuff, period.

By biomass, yes most animal species do have females who engage in blood meals https://www.visualcapitalist.com/all-the-biomass-of-earth-in-one-graphic/

thats easy because biomass alone of insects is like, really big.

you said most species, and talked like you were some bigshot scientist and give me this feminist lore, and now you backtrack to alter your initial statement.

Where am I backtracking?

no, i won't play this game with you.

It’s funny because eating flesh and blood is a “woman” thing in most species.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It is. Pregnancy cravings?

Okay, think about this - women are growing an entire new entity. This entity is made of flesh. The easiest way to get components to build this flesh entity is other flesh entities.

Eating flesh and blood is a woman thing in most species, yes, we agree. Glad you came around.

In terms of numbers of species, insects certainly represent the largest percentage of the world's organisms. There are more than 1 million species of insects that have been documented and studied by scientists
