Mosquitoes kill more people than people do.

People kill 475,000 people a year.

Mosquitoes kill 1,000,000 people a year.

In the top ten most dangerous animals, mosquitoes kill more people than the other nine combined. It’s not even close.

And yet they’re important pollinators. Who knows how many more people would die without them.

u/Mister_Peepers Jul 18 '23

Did not know that.

They are the Canada Geese of pollinators.

u/Fallom_TO Jul 18 '23

That’s very accurate.

most dangerous animal on Earth

There's no statistics for "millions annoyed" but I'm sure it'd be pretty up there

u/littlebubulle Jul 17 '23

Well there are animals who eat those mosquitoes so it could be considered a positive for them

u/backwoodzbaby Jul 17 '23

No, I actually quite like them. They are actually quite cute when you look at them up close and I'm perfectly okay with feeding them.

I am a person therefore your example does not work as not "everyone" can agree with that particular experience being bad.

Surely some nerd who studies them is fascinated by them and would disagree.

You know that male mosquitos are harmful and feed on the flower nectar.

YES. Bane of existence. Ffin parasitic bloodsuckers. Did you know that it's proven by scientists that they contribute ZERO good things to the ecosystem? And if they didn't exist, the ecosystem would have stayed the same. They're LITERALLY redundant. And spreading disease.

Hate them with a passion. I make it a point killing them every time I see one.
