Mosquitoes Suck Blood Until They Burst

The video above—which, be warned, may not be suitable for those squeamish at the sight of blood—shows some of the more dramatic results of a scientific study.

Mosquitoes drank far beyond their fair share of blood and were rendered unable to fly or even walk. Others went even further, drinking so much that they eventually burst. Often, they would continue to feed long after their abdomen ruptured, unaware that what was going in was coming straight out the other end.
