This is rather disconcerting.
To: Red Badger
You notice how whenever we introduce a critter into the wild, we end up wishing we had not most of the time.

Screw worm flies only breed once. They were eradicated by releasing lab-produced sterile male flies.

Years ago one of my uncles worked on a project that sterilized mosquitoes and released them into the wild producing no offspring. I suppose the mama mosquitoes were quite frustrated. :D

It would have to be a lot of wrong to be worse than all of the diseases which mosquitoes transmit to people.

Isn’t the entire premise here ,”hetero normative”??
It assumes male and female mating.
What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender mosquitos? Why are their rights ignored?
To: Red Badger
I have a bad feeling about this project.
We may have the technology but we are not God.

And what about the Qs? Those mosquitoes who are still questioning their sexuality?
They’d better decide quickly because I don’t think they live that long.
