    Meanwhile, mosquitoes… pollinating, cleaning waterways as nymphs, females just needing the slightest amount of blood to lay a couple hundred eggs. Forgotten, maligned, made the focus of actual efforts to purposefully cause species extinction. ._.

      Probably because of just how much death they directly cause

        Mosquitoes don’t directly cause death, though.
        They are susceptible to diseases. They pass those diseases on. Those diseases cause death.
        Bees cause more direct deaths due to anaphylactic shock from allergies to apitoxin.

        Mosquitoes just catch all the blame.
