just engineer mosquitos to have a preference for other animal's blood
then everyone (sentient) wins
Did you know that not only are they insufferable cunts, but mosquitoes can also accidentally fly into your ear canals?
Found out recently.
I want them gone sooooo bad...
Can you source this lmao
Hardly anything hunts ticks and they're not a major foodsource
Most of the time when they're eaten they're tiny and small, hiding underneath plant leaves.
When they get big after vomiting inside some poor cunt then they're often just lying on the floor somewhere hidden by the undergrowth trying to give birth to mini ticks
Theres simply not enough of them to warrent a foodsource
however the dude that said flies, nah, he wrong
Flies are at least harmless.
We don't actually know enough about the ecological role of mosquitos to predict the impact of their eradication. See this National Geographic article and this presentation for some explanation. It's unlikely that there will be serious effects but it's very unwise to completely remove a species on a hunch.
FUCK ticks
Every tick should burn for eternity
What parasites are absolutely crucial in any ecosystem? I'm not well versed in ecology and I don't know how big a role they play.
There are larger ecological implications beyond just who eats who, there's resource management as well. Illness and parasites are part of a healthy ecosystem - we just don't know the extent of the damage from completely obliterating them.
Don't think I don't want them gone too, but we can't pretend it's not probably also damaging nature. Fact of the matter is that sometimes we need to harm nature to make our own lives better. Don't need to pretend you're doing a good thing for nature though.
If it's native, it's part of the ecosystem. Removing a part from any system will change how it's running.
why does bill hate mosquitos so bad
he likes to wander into swamps and spin his dick around like a helicopter. once, a mosquito bit him directly on the end of it. he has waged his holy war since then.
Fuck mosquitoes, they've kept me up for hours at night. I hope they go extinct.
Flies are an important part of the decomposition cycle for almost all living matter and waste products. Without flies we would literally be up to our knees in shit.

Bill must have seen the ww2 poster
They're the animal that causes the most deaths per year, and would have nearly no repercussions if it went extinct. Makes sense.
Mr. Gates, can we get rid of those fucking yellow jacket assholes next?
one of the sexiest mosquitos I've ever seen tbh
