mosquito + human blood?

Hi,

I found a mosquito next to my bed half engorged with MY blood.  Anyway, i swat at it to temporarily stun it and then dropped it into one of my newly formed N. sanguinea.  Anyone think this was a bad idea?  It's just human blood cells and mosquito flesh...

In the words of your Nep, "Feed me SpyC!". No worries, I always feed full mosquitoes (if I let my guard down enough) to my Neps. Lots of goodies they can use in our red sap!

I can hear all the kids out there now saying "I knew my brother/sister was good for something......"
 
My plants usually have a nice growth spurt after consuming a cat or a dog, but they've never had human blood...
 
After a lion tastes a human the first time, it never wants anything else. Hmmm.....
 
And, before any budding young expert can write a page disputing that lion thing; I made it up.
 
You know, you can get large quantities of cow's blood from many scientific supply houses.

Human blood is bad enough after a few hours! LOL


I work in an Operating room as a surgical tech so I smell human blood just about every day I am at work.
