SUMMARY: The Mississippi Natural Science Museum has opened the Attack of the Blood Sucker exhibit until May 12th, teaching people about the importance of blood suckers in the environment. The exhibit features fun facts about mosquitoes, with the education coordinator sharing that only female mosquitoes suck blood to help develop their eggs. While mosquito bites may be annoying, they are necessary for their reproduction. By celebrating lesser-appreciated creatures like mosquitoes, ticks, and leeches, the museum aims to educate the public about their role in the ecosystem. The exhibit offers a unique opportunity to learn about these creatures and their significance.
