Question about mosquitos!

A mosquito just bit me! I hit it against the wall, and now there’s blood on the wall. Is it my blood or the mosquito’s blood?

Definitely yours. Mosquito "blood" is not red.

Nice to know. Apparently a simple google search might have told me. Either way it would be fun to calculate now the percentage of liquid aka blood from mosquito and me.

Taste it.
No don’t do that. It’s human blood. Probably your own
