If Mosquitos were to vanish and go exstinct, how much would the flora and fauna of the world be affected? Or would quality of life for humans just go up with no consequences.
>>
I'm curious of this too. Why do mosquitoes even exist other than too spread disease and be a nuisance? Is it just because they are a food source for other beings which do more meaningful things?
>>
There's a bunch of reptiles that eat them and some smal mammals and arachnids too.

fucking woo-pushing idiots. Might as well start worshipping chakras and put yourself in the center of the universe like some christian.

Hold your horses there buckaroo
>meaningful things
This being the case where their meaning is aiding humans indirectly. Like when a frog eats a mosquito, it prevents that mosquito from infecting a human.
Do you understand that or are you a mosquito loving circle jerking diva roach?

Kill yourself you edgy, spotty adolescent cunt.

I believe it's only a few species that bite humans
>>

Really? Because I never really hear about mosquitos role in the food chain, or that there are other species of them. Aren't there enough bugs in the world that one dissapearing wouldn't have that great affect? I know that one small species can die and fuck everything over, but if mosquitos were that important staple of the food chain somewhere I swear I would have heard about it.

mosquitos are actually a pretty good sized chunk of the insect-related food web in a lot of areas.

>purpose
It doesn't have a purpose. Its just what it does. Purpose implies there's intention behind it. It just is.

> also fuck neichzsche

>>Lol it haz no objective purpose because nihilism and reality is subjective! :^)
Strictly speaking, yeah, reality is subjective. You only interpret your reality through your consciousness. But fuck the whole "anything can mean anything to anyone :^) " flowers and bullshit that seems to be popular.

Being accurate isn't edgy.
>>
>>8492835
But as their exclusive food source? Mosquitos live near water, and where there's water, there's surely plenty of other insects.
>>
>>8493173
Mosquitos are generalists. They don't care what blood they drink as long as it's a mammal (and often birds too), just like you can eat any animal you want and get something out of it.
>>
Species go extinct every day. Nature adjusts.

amazing

>>8492813
I remember reading an article or something on this from some biologists/ecologists or something. They suspected the impact would be surprisingly small, by the usual standards of what would happen if species vanished.
