I looked it up once - apparently mosquitos are an important food source for birds, bats, frogs, and the larvae is eaten by fish.
They’re an insignificant source, at least for bats and birds.
Unfortunately they’re also pollinators.
I’m willing to take the risk. Those creatures can eat something else.
Maybe an infinity gauntlet that targets half the mosquito population in the universe with one snap?
Honestly, if it weren’t for the itch and the (admittedly somewhat low) chance for transmitting diseases, I wouldn’t mind them.
if they can shut up when trying to suck my blood, I will mostly ignore them

So … you don’t mind the male mosquitoes. Only the female.
Wouldn’t mind them either if it weren’t for the aforementioned factors. And since I can hardly differentiate between male and female mosquitoes when I see one, because don’t know what to look for, they all get the extermination treatment once they enter my flat.
The mosquio dick, duh.
I used to feel this way until I was bitten by a horsefly. I’d rather have 10 mosquito bites than this
But horseflies are easy to see, trap, and/or swat. Plus, that ratio might be right, 10:1, but I think my actual historical ratio is more like 400:1, and I’d definitely rather one horsefly bite than 400 mosquito bites
They’re mostly pollinators. Both males and females eat flower nectar. Females need a small amount of blood in addition to that when reproducing.
