(I used Wiki to back me up because I wasn't for sure)

Male and Females both feed on nectar their adult lives, but before laying eggs the female must have a blood meal. Males don't drink blood, they drink the nectar only so they survive but never have a blood meal.

Interesting! I never knew it was always the female mosquito biting me!

I remembered that this blood will also give nourishment to the female's fertilized eggs, right?

[February Beetle]

Yes, she has to have a blood meal in order to lay healthy eggs*.
