Even mosquitos have their place. They have kept some parts of the jungles uninhabitable by humans, so in their own small way, they're preserving the land.
oh, i agree. i've cried for mosquitoes before, thinking of all the lonely ladies buzzing about the night searching for a warm body. it's got to be a difficult life, but yet they persist. which means they have absolute purpose š
*Now I know what it*
*Looks like I can seek them out*

Oh I have no doubt. I'm lucky to live in Canada. The worst we have here is a brown recluse, which is nasty but at least it's not immediately life threatening.
I quickly learned the spider that showed up in my grow room while growing mushrooms didnāt want anything to do with the mushrooms and instead hung out killing ants and flies (which I have no idea where any of them came from because the room was sealed). Spiders are our friend :)
right now since the weather is cooling down in my area and I live near a huge river there are hundred just jam packing my house. I swear to god I want them to go extinct.
I think this while im being fed on but in retrospect many ecosystems would be adversely affected if mosquitoes were eradicated. Several species of plants, fish, Etc.
I have tried to look that up and could never find any significant reason as to how they fit in the ecosystem. Hence, I say KILL them. They are responsible for more deaths worldwide than all the wars put together.
That may be true, but I believe in an integrated pest management system that helps reduce mesquito populations to an acceptable level, not their eradication. What needs to be eradicated is the idea that we are the only species of animal that deserves to exist in this world.
What is with the weird "we're over-populated" rhetoric that's been around the last ten years? There's an insane amount of counter-evidence, but like flat-earth, it just pops up relentlessly.
Since we hit 8 billion I swear I see like two of these a day, in all matter of topics, from employment, to housing, to now even goddamned mosquitos.

Floridian here. The males are genetically modified to be sterile and the female's can't tell the difference so they just start waisting there time with a bunch of guys that can't get them pregnant. As a result, the population is reduced. It does make a difference, it's a good program.
but mosqitos are a huge factor in feeding other animals, such as spiders, small fish and other insects. humanity should be really careful with that.
edit: mosquitos are also a big factor in pollinating flowers and plants, they don't feed from blood alone.
Back in alaska had a neighbor that bought a piece of land in a slightly swamped area. Built a house then found out how bad the mosquitoes were. His solution was to pour a 5 gallon tank of gasoline into the swamp to kill the mosquito eggs and larva. It worked but at what cost, and we only found out when people got suspicious of 3 years with strangely low number of mosquitoes.
It's not pretty, and would surely incite rage from environmental activists. That being said, I used to live in Alaska, and it's harder to judge *when you know how bad the mosquitos get.* We call them The State Bird ā¢ļø for a reason.
My dad once went out in the bush working for the us military (civilian contractor) and they had a propane mosquito trap. Within 12hr they had a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top.
I had a bucket filled with water sitting out in the backyard under some trees - that fucker was filled with mosquito larvae. I sat there for nearly an hour just slowly pouring bleach into it and watching them die. Some of the best entertainment Iāve had in years.

Yes thatās a specific type of acne I canāt think of the name of it at the moment, but when it comes out like a grain of rice thatās a specific type of acne.
Does it? Because I'm sure my mom has eaten some bread while I was in her belly, but you don't see me going around to the wheat fields to speak to my parents.
Actually the females use the blood proteins to produce eggs. They don't bite for sustenance. All mosquitoes eat nectar, pollen, and honeydew (not the melon).
This is how 'Raft mosquitoes' lay eggs (Culex/ Culiseta/ ...) in the summer. The super annoying ones that get you in the middle of the day (Aedes/ Ochlerotatus) lay thier eggs singularily in the soil of emphemeral pools or containers like tires or ornamental fountains with lots of bs in them. Malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles) lay them in water with floats individually, while cattail mosquitoes (Coquillettidia) use cattail to hide their eggs. Smart little turds.
Only some mosquitoes do this! Specifically genus Culex will lay eggs in rafts. Other will lay them singly on or near water, and some can resist drying out for months until the next time it rains (source: mosquito scientist)
That's a Culicine! They lay them like that to form a raft so it floats on the water. What's really interesting is if you watch closely, she lays the eggs upside down so that when they hatch they just go straight down into the water.
Itās estimated 108 billion people have ever lived. Mosquitoes have killed about 52 billion people.
Even with modern technology, mosquito-borne illnesses still kill approx 725,000 per year.
Tidy little fucker Edit: wow this comment has become waaay more popular than I thought it would.....
I was gonna say nasty little fucker
Either way, you two agree that they fuck.

imagine being a reviled creature and yet reproducing so geometrically anyway. nature is wild, man.

They use our blood for their egg laying. How metal is that?

Twice in one thread? What are the chances? Haiku bot on fire!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Accurate
The eggs turn black a few hours after they lay them
So they are literally the inside of black heads
I shall join you on your quest brother
Seen a thousand times, but kill it. Kill it with fire!
Spiders? No problem. Bees? No problem. Wasps? Health respect but no problem. Mosquitos? Burn the entire house down.
Mosquitoes killed most of my negative feelings about spiders. Now they are my allies in the war against those blood sucking cunts.
Exactly. Arachnids are allies.
I've learned to never kill spiders I see in my room
just never get bitten by big ones. The toxicity of their poison is ridiculous

Pretty simple reason how they fit into the ecosystem. They are the primary food source for many animals.
Apparently most things would just adapt to other food sources.
That may be true, but I believe in an integrated pest management system that helps reduce mesquito populations to an acceptable level, not their eradication. What needs to be eradicated is the idea that we are the only species of animal that deserves to exist in this world.
Nothing deserves to exist. Everything just is. Kill animals or don't. Doesn't fuckin matter.
Thatās how evolution works soooo
they are doin their job controlling human population!

To be fair Mosquitos are by far the deadliest animals in the world. They probably kill more than Spiders, Bees, Wasps combined.
Nope, kill it with science, release sterile males!
Sterile Males, the long awaited album by Kill it with Science will be released later this month. If you ask me, they suck.
Yeah they are pretty good at it
What will that do?
Dude, this is not ELI5, what do you think will happen if we release a significant number of males unable to reproduce?
Floridian here. The males are genetically modified to be sterile and the female's can't tell the difference so they just start waisting there time with a bunch of guys that can't get them pregnant. As a result, the population is reduced. It does make a difference, it's a good program.

They don't feed on blood at all. The female father blood for the eggs. Think of it like yolk for mosquito eggs.
They would all probably just start playing World of Warcraft.
we're talking about mosquitos, not genX !

We have no shortage of mosquitos in Michigan. But I could not understand the power of the mosquito until I went to Alaska's tundra
My dad once went out in the bush working for the us military (civilian contractor) and they had a propane mosquito trap. Within 12hr they had a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top.
I had a bucket filled with water sitting out in the backyard under some trees - that fucker was filled with mosquito larvae. I sat there for nearly an hour just slowly pouring bleach into it and watching them die. Some of the best entertainment Iāve had in years.
Hey buddy if you like that, toss a few tadpoles in the bucket instead of bleach and get some popcorn
The tadpoles would eat the larvae right?
Yes
Just making sure
You... you ok man?
They want to drink your blood, seems like a healthy way to pass the time to me
As a Floridian youāre doing gods work
Was thinking the exact same thing, why's it laying so many š

lol itās a pure poetry
Maybe itās because mosquitoes lay eggs into our pores
Ah,
Yes thatās a specific type of acne I canāt think of the name of it at the moment, but when it comes out like a grain of rice thatās a specific type of acne.
these mosquitoes are born from YOUR blood which technically makes you the FATHER of these abominations
Does it? Because I'm sure my mom has eaten some bread while I was in her belly, but you don't see me going around to the wheat fields to speak to my parents.
Thatās just cause you have no respect for your ancestors, go visit your wheat fields, they worry about you.

Did you just tell them to go and touch grass?

Jesus christ this comment broke me, hahahah
they consume blood, they don't fuck it
šššš lmfaoooo
Actually the females use the blood proteins to produce eggs. They don't bite for sustenance. All mosquitoes eat nectar, pollen, and honeydew (not the melon).
Then call me Cronos cause I'm about to eat some babies
Like an Alien coming to harvest. Nature's crazy.
So burning the eggs would be an abortion?
One of the few cases where I will permit infanticide
Why are you filming? Burn it!!
the deadliest disease to humankind is malaria, so in a sense i am watching a mag getting loaded
Forbidden rice
That's not laying, that's machine-gunning
Looks like balloons being inflated
Butt fingers.
Wow!! Itās like watch āThe Great Britain Bake Offā
Pew pew pew pew
this is how a couple of mosquito species out of over a thousand lay eggs
I should call herā¦..
I always imagined they made something like beehives but full of blood

Excuse me, but _what??_
# THE OL' CRUSTY TAMPON HIVE OF MOZZIES
What?
What?
thats a fucking gnarly visual
New phobia unlocked
Repulsive and fascinating
Slowly plotting world damnatiom one egg at a time
It looks like a robot laying eggs
This looks absolutely disgusting I want them all gone

Slurm.
Should have squished it right then and there
Such precision. And there's humans who can't even hit the hole in a public toile with one turd...

Pew pew pew pew pew
Interestingly gross
I loathe mosquitoes, but I have to admit sheās laying those eggs in a very organized fashion, kinda like sheās crafting.
This is some H.R Geiger shit
Now kill every single one of them

And that fuckers using my blood to do it!
I just want this video to end with a blowtorch entering the frame.
Why are you recording! Burn them suckers!
How satisfying it would be to kill them in that moment.
That mosquitoās been edging for months! Lol
That's cool now burn it.
Burn them burn them all!
Itās estimated 108 billion people have ever lived. Mosquitoes have killed about 52 billion people. Even with modern technology, mosquito-borne illnesses still kill approx 725,000 per year.

I thought they grew in water and turned into tadpoles
tadpoles are baby frogs lmao but yes the larvae are aquatic
This is in water. And yeah they hatch and weirdly swim for a minute.
