The slender elongated body of the adult is covered with scales, as are the veins of the wings. Mosquitoes are also characterized by long fragile-looking legs and elongated piercing mouthparts. The feathery antennae of the male are generally bushier than those of the female. The males, and sometimes the females, feed on nectar and other plant juices and are known pollinators. In most species, however, the females require the proteins obtained from a blood meal in order to mature their eggs. Different species of mosquitoes show preferences and, in many cases, narrow restrictions as to host animals. The females of Uranotaenia sapphirina, for example, specialize on earthworms and leeches, while those of a related species, Uranotaenia lowii, feast only on the blood of frogs and toads. Mammals, birds, and reptiles are common hosts for many mosquitoes.
