I looked it up once - apparently mosquitos are an important food source for birds, bats, frogs, and the larvae is eaten by fish.
This meme is braindead. Mozzies do suck, but everything has it's place and we're waaay to stupid to play God with ecosystems and the food chain
What? It worked perfectly with cane toads. And wild boars. And catfish. And mongoose.
And rabbits. And kudzu. And Asian carp. Etc…
I do agree we doing way to much to ecosystems but mosquitoes are a problem worth trying to fix, in first world countries they barely spread disease but they kill so many people worldwide with disease. We most likely shouldn't eradicate them for that but something tio mitigate that spread would be amazing.
Yeah that breed that don't carry virus idea sounds good. As they reproduce they stop transmitting it and eventually the entire species don't carry it
I don't think you have to worry about those dudes catching and torturing and killing all the mosquitoes in the universe
Me and my homies with the infinity gauntlet:
Unfortunately they're also pollinators.
They're an insignificant source, at least for bats and birds.
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?
Great, how often can I snap? I'll quit my job to focus on my snapping if you guys promise to feed me.
Wouldn't take that long, like maybe at maximum 50 snaps. It's the same reason mlm scheme's not only don't work but can't work.
