The small section of mosquitoes that bite humans actually don't serve a critical niche like that, and just spread disease. Why the idea has been floated at sterilizing them.

I thought some of the specific mosquitoes that prey on humans can be killed with little side effects. Or is that just my cognitive bias dreaming of a better world

OK, but all the ticks can go die in a fire

Nothing evolves to have a purpose, something just mutated by chance that happens to serve a beneficial function to the environment and other organisms

Also I'm pretty sure birds, bats and plants can eat other bugs

What's the statistics on bug food for birds and plants ?

If humans went extinct, the planet gets better?

i am under the impression that mosquitos, as an invasive species, do not fill an important ecological niche and could go extinct and be replaced by other insects

Species do not exist for a purpose. They are important in their ecosystem, that's all.

And even if they don't have a role, that doesn't make their existence any less valuable.

If screworms went extinct there wouldn't be any animals starving... same with a lot of pests. guinea worm for example.

I call BS on at least some of those claims. Citation or GTFO

Ok but I still think the mosquito thing is worth a try. I’m even willing to live alongside wasps but mosquitoes gotta go!

What would happen if bedbugs went extinct? Other than mass celebrations, I mean.

I would gladly feed the birds and bats to be rid of mosquitoes.

How many species of birds and bats eat just mosquitoes though, or a high enough percentage that they would go extinct rather than shift to rely more on their other prey species, even if at a smaller population? And are those particular species of birds and bats worth the consequences of having mosquitoes?

We are the only species out of the ecologic system, we need the nature, but the nature don't need us.

Sounds like something a wasp would say
