My main fear was that removal of mosquitoes would give rise to another blood-sucking, biting insect to fill it's place. One that wasn't so slow, noisy and easy to repel with nets, repellant and clothing. A smaller, silent, insect would be far worse. Mosquitoes are the b52 bombers of the flying insect world - slow and easy to hit.
I get bad reaction to sandflies. If sandflies replaced mosquitoes, my world would be severely negatively impacted.

- code_duck 16y agoThe large biting flies are a crazy phenomenon. They'll actually chase you, persistently. And they're HUGE. I was attacked by one a couple of years ago on Lake Michigan, and it just wouldn't leave me alone! I was diving, splashing it with water, running on the beach (it could fly about as fast as I could run) and no luck. I finally had to swat the vile beast.
