The mosquitos are more vicious than in any other of the 28 years I’ve lived here.

Mosquitos should be eradicated. Unlike ants or flies, they serve no useful purpose, other than food for frogs, which I would also happily do without for the cause.

I believe bats and some birds eat them.

food for birds as well. And frogs in turn are food for snakes, barred owls, red and grey foxes, mink, ermine, ducks, anhingas, people, and hosts of other birds like herons and egrets. And mosquito larvae are a vital food source for fisheries, as newly hatched game fish and commercial food fish need tiny larvae dinners just to get started. Mosquito larvae are food for an array of important aquatic insects as well, which in turn are also needed to feed fish, turtles and snakes.
