Letter: Giving mosquitoes their proboscis back

Published 24 December 2025

From David Aldred, Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire, UK

I was fascinated to read that a mosquito’s proboscis can act as a surprisingly hardy 3D printer nozzle (29 November, p 18). I wonder if they can also manufacture a replacement mosquito proboscis?
