In this cade, I disagree with environmentalists. Mosquitoes have killed more humans than all the wars, possibly half whoever lived or 50 billion. They aren't essential.

An old friend had lived in one of the West African countries for a couple of years. She said that the then president used to say that the capital should have a large statue of a mosquito, since mosquito-borne diseases had greatly reduced the intensity of colonialism.
Interesting thought - ARE mosquitoes essential? What actually do they do in the food chain? Simply provide food/biomass for frogs/fish/etc?
