A World Without Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes can be a real pain when they bite or bother us when we are trying to have a good time outside in nature. Whether you are swimming in a lake or hiking a mountain you will always find a swarm of mosquitoes ready to attack you if you get close, which can sometimes ruin your day and occasionally sleep because you itch to bad. Well I'm sure we have all asked ourselves if mosquitoes even have a purpose other than to annoy you and spread diseases. Well there are actually a few good reasons to keep them

A article I have Recently ready talks about some of the hazards and benefits of the mosquito. the article is written by Janet Fang and has quotes from many entomologists trying to figure out whether or not it would be ok to eradicate the mosquitoes. One fact said there are 3,500 named species of Mosquito and only a couple hundred bite or bother people. One Hazard that many of us know about is their ability to spread  diseases and viruses, a few being West Nile Virus, Malaria and Yellow Fever. This alone gives many people the want to kill them, but they also pollinator plants. Not necessarily plants that many people use (other than cacao which you make chocolate from). But plants that other animals use in their diet. Mosquitoes can even kill a Caribou in the Arctic valleys by swarming them and suffocating to death the animal. One Scientist says its not just the adult mosquitoes but the larva too. They are often in pools and lakes which can make some people not want to swim in them. But many creatures feed off of them such as fish and some of these fish could die out if they couldn't eat mosquitoes larva. By the end of the article many people still want to get rid of Mosquitoes.

I don't. I understand that they were put here for a reason, even if we don't like it. These creatures feed other animals if not by their own body by killing another. They pollinate plants that are useful to other animals to eat. The viruses and diseases could be a problem but they aren't the only thing that carries stuff like that. Plus they probably keep some populations in control, maybe not a lot but some, contributing what they can, So therefor I think we cant get rid of them unless we could do their jog which we cant.
