I read once that ironically one of the most important ecological niches for mosquitos is that they keep humans out of a bunch of places that allow those habitats to be preserved. It’s their annoyance and medical danger to people that makes them so valuable to the ecosystem.

Cool well we can put up some do not trespass signs

KILL ALL MOSQUITOS

It doesn’t matter how many “no trespassing” signs we put up because mosquitos can’t read

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah… signs don’t really work on all humans.

Thanks for the rainforests, mosquitos.

Shit, as a Floridian, you may have just convinced me we should let them live. We already have too many people moving here.

That, and their larvae clean freshwater we wouldn't ever think about cleaning, so there's that too.

Smartest argument that I've heard for their existence!
