Ooh, good catch. :)
IIRC, mosquitoes don't 'EAT' blood, the females use it for laying eggs.
"Why do mosquitoes bite? Mosquitoes belong to a group of insects that
requires blood to develop fertile eggs. Males do not lay eggs, thus,
male mosquitoes do not bite. The females are the egg producers and
"host-seek" for a blood meal. Female mosquitoes lay multiple batches
of eggs and require a blood meal for every batch they lay. Few people
realize that mosquitoes rely on sugar as their main source of energy.
Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, fruit juices and
liquids that ooze from plants. The sugar is burned as fuel for flight
and is replenished on a daily basis. Blood is reserved for egg
production and is imbibed less frequently. "
