Yes, mosquitoes do have sperm.
Mosquito sperm are quite different from mammalian sperm. Here's a breakdown:
| Feature | Mosquito Sperm | Mammalian Sperm |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Long and slender, head as wide as the tail. | Typically has an oval-shaped head and a long tail. |
| Head Diameter | 0.5–0.6 μm | Varies but generally larger. |
The references state that "Mosquito sperm are long and slender" and their "heads are as wide as the tail, with a diameter of 0.5–0.6 μm". (Clements and Potter, 1967; Tongu, 1968). This contrasts with mammalian sperm, which have distinct heads much wider than their tails.
In summary, mosquito sperm exist and have a distinct structure.
