There’s not many types of mosquito that are a problem for humans. If we wiped out the dangerous ones, there would still be plenty of mozzy to go around

I remember a college conversation with a bio major when I said I wished we could just eliminate mosquitos. She said if there were no mosquitoes it would be disastrous because some other thing eats them that gets eaten by some other thing, I don’t remember the details, but essentially it would destroy the whole food chain. I couldn’t help thinking that these bugs etc. would probably eat something else because you know, they would be hungry. Just two students with a little knowledge thinking they could conclusively analyze the world. And new here’s social media.

I’ve read a while ago that the only vew spiders who occasionally eat them don’t really like them either, because they have low nutritional value. In short, mosquitos are pretty much useless.
