After I slapped my own face 2000 times this night because I accidentally broke my mosquito killing device, I can't stop thinking about world without little blood - sucking bastards.
So, if we find the way to kill them all (I mean ALL), would that be ecological catastrophe?
Well, they must have place in the circle of life. Some birds eat mosquitoes, but they still eat other stuff, so I don't think that mosquitoes are necessary to them.
These mosquitoes (of which I made seven red stains on my wall last night) are not so dangerous as others species in the world.
Well, they sting, suck my blood and buzz around my ears, but there are some really nasty motherfuckers that spread deceases. There are more than 3500 named species of mosquitoes but only few hundreds really bother humans. The worst of them are those that spread malaria, which infects almost 250 millions people each year and kills a million! And there are other deceases that mosquitoes spread: yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus...
I searched internet upside down to find some things that mosquitoes are useful for. I found that some species in tropic countries pollinate some plants... but some other insect pollinate those plants, so mosquitoes don't play leading role in anything on the earth but being pests and blood - suckers.
But if we, somehow, find a way to get rid of them, that would probably open the door for some other nasty species to spread worldwide. But that is impossible to predict now, only thing that I really know is that I don't see any good uses of mosquitoes.
