Feed A Mosquito Beginner Guide: Your First-Play Route

Feed A Mosquito casts you as the food supply: the mosquitoes you own drink your blood, and well-fed mosquitoes pay you cash every second. If you're working out how to play, the entire opening loop is playable from the moment you spawn — nothing in it waits on an unlock or a Robux purchase. Recorded first sessions completed the whole loop — kill, hatch, feed, collect, first weapon upgrade — with the starting hand weapon and an empty base.

What you do at the start

Your first session boils down to eight actions, in this order:

1. Sit at your base seat to gain health. This health is your blood, the resource you feed mosquitoes with.
2. Attack a mosquito in the first field area. These standing mosquitoes are the starter "bosses." Use the default hand and keep hitting until the target's health bar at the top of the screen reaches zero.
3. Pick up a fallen larva. In the first area every drop is common, so any one works.
4. Place the egg on your base plot. A common egg is ready in about 7 seconds; open the lid and place your first mosquito in your base.
5. Feed the mosquito with your blood. It clamps on and drains your health while your health regenerates automatically, so alternate between sitting to refill and feeding.
6. Collect cash at the green circle. Walk over the circle at your base — money does not bank itself.
7. Feed to 100%. A fed mosquito shows a percentage; at 100% it pays its maximum — 18 cash per second for the first common mosquito in the recorded run.
8. Buy the shoe. The first weapon upgrade makes the same first-area mosquito die much faster, and the loop starts again.

None of these steps depends on an unlock. The one Robux-exclusive item in the early weapon shop — the mosquito spray — can be skipped entirely.

A first-play sequence you can repeat

Fill up on blood first

You spawn at an empty base with a single seat. Sitting fills your health, and that health does double duty: it's the blood you feed base mosquitoes with, and it's your resistance in field fights. The seat itself is upgradeable — it starts at level 1, with an energy-gain upgrade available — so early cash spent here pays off on both fronts.

Beat your first "boss"

The starter bosses are just the mosquitoes standing in the first field area. Walk up with the default hand and keep hitting until the health bar at the top of the screen empties. Larvae drop; grab one. If another player makes the kill, you can still finish this step: larvae from other players' fights can be picked up by anyone — "you can be helped by other players," as one recorded player put it after grabbing a purple, different-rarity larva from someone else's kill.

Hatch the egg on your plot

Carry the larva back and set it down — any spot on your plot works. A common egg hatches in about 7 seconds; bigger larvae take longer, with one larger egg ready in roughly 12 seconds in another recorded session. Open the lid, collect your first mosquito — a "common nerd mosquito" in one run — and place it in your base.

Feed, refill, repeat

Every mosquito you place must be fed with your own blood. It clamps on and drains your health while your health regenerates automatically, so the rhythm is: sit to refill, feed, repeat. Feeding raises a percentage toward 100%, and the mosquito visibly grows as it feeds. Unfed mosquitoes pay only a fraction of their maximum — one player's example: a mosquito that will eventually pay 100 starts out paying 10 — so feeding every new hatch to 100% is the core repeat action of the game.

Observed pay rates are single-session examples, not a fixed table: the first common mosquito paid 18 cash per second at 100%, other early mosquitoes across the recorded runs paid 24, 26, 30 and 50 per second once fed, and one freshly hatched uncommon started at just 6.

Bank the cash at the green circle

Money your mosquitoes earn waits at your base until you walk over the green circle to collect it — it never accrues on its own. One recorded pickup gathered almost 7,000 cash in a single walk-over. The screen keeps your money counter in the left corner, with your equipped mosquitoes and hatchable eggs in the right corner. There's also a selling station at the base, but nothing is worth selling this early.

Reinvest in your first weapon

With cash banked, buy the shoe — the first step up from the hand. In the recorded run, the same first-area mosquito went down "much easier" immediately afterward, which is what turns one lucky kill into a repeatable route. The shop also lists a baseball bat, frying pan, pot, sword, axe, hoe, katana and scythe, with steep tier jumps: later in the same session, the player already owned a 5,000-cash weapon, had the Turner within reach, and left a 35,000 tier for later.

How feeding, bosses and upgrades relate

The game's own how-to-play text states the loop plainly: fight Boss Mosquitoes for mosquito eggs, feed your mosquitoes with more blood, upgrade your base and weapons. In practice the three beats feed each other:

• Bosses are your egg supply. Field mosquitoes drop the larvae that become eggs; stronger tiers drop bigger larvae that hatch into better earners and take longer to hatch.
• Your health is the fuel. The same health pool feeds your base mosquitoes and keeps you alive in field fights, so time at the seat is never wasted.
• Upgrades push both sides. Weapons make field kills faster; seat and energy-gain upgrades raise how much blood you have for feeding and fighting. One recorded player was re-fighting first-area mosquitoes at 600 health, while another, stuck at 150 health, couldn't beat his next target, estimated the housewife mosquito would take roughly 500 health, and linked that much health to getting 15,000 cash.
• Base mosquitoes stay home. Once placed, a mosquito earns at your base. The recorded player judged that his couldn't be brought into a field fight — "he just stays at our base" — so don't build your combat plans around your best earner.

Robux exists but gates nothing on this path. One player reached the full milestone — hatched, 100%-fed, paid mosquito plus a first weapon — with zero Robux spent; another bought blood multipliers (3x and up) to feed thirstier mosquitoes more comfortably, but still hatched and fed through the normal egg route.

Your first reasonable next goal

Once your first mosquito sits at 100% and the shoe is in hand, the loop simply scales up: keep killing first-area mosquitoes for larvae, feed each new earner to 100%, bank at the green circle, and put early cash into the seat's energy gain so you refill faster. A slightly stronger first-area mosquito was "right on the edge" of the recorded player's health pool — a natural next fight, followed by the mosquito-mom tier, with the housewife mosquito waiting until you have several hundred health. (The game keeps growing — Update V2 added new weapons, a boss and an open PVP zone — but those systems sit beyond a first session.)
