Fuck mosquitos, they’re the one species I want to go extinct.

Terrible idea if you are serious i have had people seriously suggest trying to do this it would be terrible on the ecosystem that feeds on them and their eggs including for example already engendered amphibians and that’s just what we can predict.

Wasn’t there a study recently that debunked the claim that mosquitoes were actually important?

They’ve gone back and forth. I think if you large-picture it, it’s pretty OK, something like 15% of bird and bat diets come from mosquitos. But at the micro level, some species may not cope. I am very fond of bats so I am ambivalent about this.

All these studies also preface this with the fact we are hardly arrogant to believe we have the knowledge to accurately predict all possible consequence. Either way this idea is weaker than the moral objection.
