Mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar from flowers. Both males and females will feed in this manner, sucking the nectar through a proboscis, much the same as a butterfly does. However, the female is also capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs.
Mosquito larvae eat vegetable matter floating in stagnant or still water. Mature mosquitoes vary in their diet as females must eat blood for their eggs and males suck the juices out of plants.
There is a genus of mosquitoes that never takes a blood meal because they build up
enough protein during the larval stage due to their predacous life style
Toxorhyncities).
I do not know for certain what plants they feed on, but mosquitoes do a
lot of pollination of smaller flowers, which indicates a generalist feeder.
- As origionally stated by KENNETH W. BLANK, UNIVERSITY OF Kentucky
mosquito females suck blood to give their eggs a protein they cannot synthesize themselves
The mosquitoes that land on you feed on blood.
BLOOD!
Mosquitos feed on nectar. The females suck blood after they have bred but only to provide needed protein and iron to the eggs so that the eggs will develop. Mosquitos do not feed on blood.

An insect that eats mosquitoes also known as a crane fly, it looks like a very large mosquito. Some also call the dragonfly the mosquito hawk because its main diet is mosquitoes.
If the mosquito is female, then it drinks blood. That's only to give energy to the developing eggs inside it. But if the mosquito is male, then it eats fruit. The male ones are the gigantic mosquitoes that look like there going to kill you.
