The world without mosquitoes

in #funny7 years ago

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.

This post will probably make some "friends of animals" angry!

Now imagine city squares full of people from different kinds of associations of protecting animals with banners "SAVE THE MOSQUITOES, THEY HAVE A SOUL", protesting against killing of all mosquitoes. Well, maybe they have souls, but those are pretty cruel. Thank you!

Skeeters are God's creatures too.

Squash em with kindness..

LOL :) :) thanks

I hate them!
Great post as always
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, as always :)

Hahaha... These are very close to my thoughts as I "fight" mosquitoes here on a daily basis and most have evolved to take no notice of the electronic repellers I have around the house. I also have real idea of the purpose of mosquitoes but I'm sure they must somehow serve a constructive purpose. Perhaps it's time to read up a little about them and maybe chance upon a more effective way to keep them away ;)

My friend, they became immune on every repellent and spray I can find

Hi there..
Im newby
Ive followed you

good for you, thank you

Kad su dosadni i naporni komarci ili muhe u pitanju, nemam milosti!

Hahaha, sad zamisli Trg bana Jelačića pun frikova sa transparentima: Spasite komarce

Agreed! Mosquitoes must fall!! Tiny annoying vampires.

these make part of the cycle of nature

yes but the circle would be fine and without them

no mercy. kill all the f.ing mosquitos. i hate them!

@dumar022, I dislike mosquitoes so much. When I was a young boy, I would let them land on my arm and fill up on my blood. Weird kid I was and I'm sure the world would collapse in a matter of days if we killed every last mosquito. Steem On my friend.

@runridefly, you made me laugh as always
