    &quot;To feed, a female mosquito uses a complex mouthpart called a proboscis, which contains six specialized needles (stylets).

    Two of these needles are serrated saws that slice through your skin, while two others hold the tissue open. A fifth needle searches for a blood vessel and sucks up your blood, while the sixth simultaneously pumps in saliva containing an anticoagulant to keep the blood flowing. &quot;

    sounds like robot-surgeon-manipulator from Star Wars&#x2F;Trek&#x2F;etc.
