Solution

Mosquito:

  1. When a mosquito bites, it does so without using its teeth.
  2. Instead, it makes use of a proboscis, a long tubular mouthpiece.
  3. The mosquito's proboscis has a serrated edge that allows it to puncture the skin.
  4. Mosquitoes don't have teeth because they don't eat solids.
