      Good, I hate mosqitoes anyway. Said unironically by some dipshit crayon eater everytime insect collapse comes up. Is it possible to slap someone on the internet?

        Mosquitoes specifically can all fuck off and die without anything really noticing. Anything that uses them as a food source has other options. They provide no net benefits in the way bees, spiders, worms, or basically anything else does.

        The rest of the multi-legged realm is kind of really fucking important.

        Half of humans that have died, ever, died from malaria.

        The biggest ecological impact eliminating mosquitos would have would be the increase in human numbers when the main vector for that disease was eliminated.

          Thinkimg about it, more humans is a terrible ecological effect as of current lifestyle and economics norms.
