and i feel that way about pretty much all creatures ; even if i don't like them, they have (and deserve) their place in the world (even wasps ! and i'm allergic to them ! i could DIE ! and they don't even make honey !)... BUT.

you've put mosquitoes on the list.

now really. can anyone give me any legitimate reason not to get rid of mosquitoes ? do they actually contribute anything positive at all to the ecosystem, in however small a way ? or are they just blood-sucking, disease-spreading, peaceful-sleep-disturbing, nasty parasites we'd all be much happier without ?

it's a puzzler !

Are you accusing them of being my blood brothers????
