I take it the answer is that we still (unfortunately) need them?

Last I checked, the only niche they fill in nature is being food for predators like dragonflies and bats.

Untrue.

There's different species that serve different purposes in the ecosystem.

All that being said, I can't stand them lol

I can feed those dragonflies and bats myself, so no need for those mosquitoes. I say bring out the nuclear option

okay, but what happens if those die out? Will there be more?

They have varied enough diets to be mostly fine without them.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
