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

  Ticks on the other hand can fuck off and die.

    Ticks??? No no no no! They’ll fight hard against injustice, with blue muscles and signature battle cry!

    SPOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

    I would trade bats for no mosquitoes, not even close

      Bats pollinate the plant that is used to make tequila.

  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.

      I wish. Just an overworked TTRPG-Obsessed father. I’m currently playing a gnoll, so I tend to look at real world problems through the lens of a big hairy dude.

    It would actually be of benefit to many other species (hence the meme)

    Many mammals suffer from the scourge that is mosquitos just as much as we do

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

    Aliens are using earth to rebuild the mosquito population! Without them they will glass the planet.

  We can’t do that because then mosquito bites will become extinct.
