    I hate mosquitoes but they do have s valid slot in the food web.

    Ticks on the other hand can fuck off and die.

        Bats pollinate the plant that is used to make tequila.

          I would hesitantly trade tequila for no mosquitoes, but admittedly you have somewhat shaken my beliefs.

            I salute your conviction to the annihilation of mosquitos.

    I hate mosquitoes too, but why do we keep insisting on changing/eliminating other creatures to suit us? Let’s modify OURSELVES to smell like citronella, or better yet, let’s make ourselves grow a thick coat of luscious, too-thick-for -mosquitoes fur! That should be relatively easy, and it would come with other benefits too.

    Something something the animals that do eat them will die and the whole ecosystem will collapse.
