Thanks Tom didn't realise that the males didn't feed.

Yep, only the females take blood meals in order to acquire enough energy and nutrients to produce eggs. The males just feed on an any sort of natural sugary stuff they can find.

Biology geek mode off!

Wow so you should be far too busy to even take part in forum activities then, and when your brain is so full of important stuff to do with your MSc you will forget simple actions like typing and mixing with the likes of us simple folk
