Observing them in the abundance I do (harvest lbs per hour with a cricket bat), it seems obvious that they're a rich food source for wildlife, from ground to sky. Wildlife and ecology are uncommon concerns in Florida, unfortunately. Such can be clearly deduced from the repugnant new developments scourging the state, which are basically micro Epcot centers stripped of all aesthetics, ie fantasy villages divorced from indigenous reality. The Everglades, for example, is a keystone system, for the planet, and undoubtedly a geiser of mosquitoes. Eliminating any non invasive species, but notably the mosquito, would imo, have negative consequences despite brief anthropic jubilee. My brutal loathing aside, I'd be very reluctant to fulfill my prayer. I don't think it's a slippery slope, but it's one that through means intenional or not, we'll probably see as populations grow under current practices.
