Mosquitoes spent millions of years evolving an elegant proboscis for stealthy blood extraction, while ticks just went full headfirst into the buffet!

Evolution doesn't care about looking cool—it's the biological equivalent of "whatever gets the job done." Some species get precision instruments, others just become living face-plants. Nature's R&D department clearly operates on wildly different budgets for different projects!
