Two million humans are killed each year by mosquitos.

Half of all humans that have ever lived were killed by mosquitos.

There are 110 trillion mosquitos living this very minute.

We have the gene modifying technology to completely wipe the all out, forever.

The question is:

Should We Wipe Mosquitoes Off The Face Of Ehe Earth?

I didn't know that a hummingbirds main food is mosquitoes.

Humming Bird Eats Mosquito

My humming birds left last week, too bad they didn’t take the mosquitos with
them. They come back in April when the night temps remain above 60.

“We have the gene modifying technology to completely wipe the all out, forever.”

DDT took care of it just fine until the government got involved.

They eat lots of insects. They have to feed growing babies high protein insects. In the winter in coastal Oregon there aren’t many flowers, but lots of small insects.

Trout eat a lot of mosquitos too. FWIW

Couldn’t they just modify the skeeters so the viruses can’t live in them?

I thought they had a bit of a problem with a gene modifying test on Brazil and it back fired. You might want to look that up. I read it here on FR.
