  as much as i’d love to agree with that-

  mosquitos are pollinators and an important food source for quite a few animals. Our eco system would not be fine if we got rid of them

    The largest type of mosquito in the Americas is an invasive species. There would be no harm done wiping them out.

    That… That is a price I am willing to accept.

      Bees are pollinators because they go to flowers and collect and move pollen.

      Mosquitoes don’t have time to hang out in flowers because they’re busy screaming in your ear at 2 AM.
