They are food for other creatures, like bats and birds. The answer is to cure malaria.
Discussion
most biologists seem to agree that the price to pay for tipping off some natural balances is insignificant compared to their kill rate.
Cooler to cure disease though.
Those biologists should seek advice from ecologists. Ecological collapse is worse than Malaria.
mosquitoes don't matter ecologically, do you have other information?
Sounds like something a LLM could answer for you:
The extinction of mosquitoes could lead to several ecological problems, primarily affecting food chains and ecosystems that rely on them. While some species may adapt, others could face significant challenges. For instance, specialized predators like the mosquitofish might struggle without their primary food source, potentially leading to population declines.
In the Arctic, mosquito populations serve as a crucial food source for migratory birds, and their absence could result in a decline in bird populations by more than 50%.
Additionally, mosquito larvae are an important food source for various fish species, and their extinction could disrupt aquatic food chains.
Although some animals might adapt by finding alternative prey, the overall impact on biodiversity and ecosystem stability remains a concern.
The loss of mosquitoes could also affect pollination, although most plants do not solely rely on them for this process.
no I mean science
Most of their value is in the larval stage, where they help turtles thrive. Adult mosquitoes are trash-tier. The real solution is laser turrets that destroy them if they stray too far from turtle ponds.
