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

Hard agree

Too bad there are thousands of species. Bro’s going for a mass extinction.

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?
Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Depends on where you are. On the east coast if the US, the largest mosquito species is invasive and not an important part of the ecosystem. There is a native species, but they aren’t the ones cause issues. If we can destroy the invasive species specifically, that’d be great.

I was Uruguay out in the country. There were more mosquitos that I’d ever had to deal with. I decided to let them bite me. Eventually they’ll figure out that this blood isn’t worth their time or something and just give up.
The next three days really sucked.

I visited my friend for two days in VA the past week and got murdered by mosquitoes
These east coast mosquitoes have hands and I was not prepared

They are so bad this year. Wtf is going on?

Literally climate change.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7068582/
Weather has a big impact on mosquito numbers & feeding behavior:
- Cooler temperatures = more mosquitoes
- Higher humidity = more mosquitoes
- More rainfall = more mosquitoes (for some species)

Climate is moving north, thus your area is likely getting wetter and more humid.
FuckFascism@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Partially correct, mosquitos prefer warm humid environments with stagnant water to lay their eggs also they suck at flying so if it’s windy outside you won’t be bothered be many.

In the trail near my home they are downright relentless. It’s a popular place people go why are you biting me as if you’ll starve.

Did they just race swap Holli Would?
Why?

Ya know, I don't really mind the blood sucking part of mosquitoes. I don't like it, but that's their thing, so can't complain about that.
It's the dang diseases and the itch from hell that comes with it. Why can't they just suck blood in peace?
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
It’s a blood thinner. That itch comes because we are allergic to the blood thinner they inject so they can suck more easily.
Some people claim to not get bitten by mosquitoes ever. That’s false, they are simply not allergic to the blood thinner and nothing shows up after the mosquitoes leave, so they don’t think they were bitten.

I just returned from three weeks of mostly tent camping. Those assholes wouldn’t even let me close the tent door in the morning before landing on my legs.
