? I don't see the function of mosquitos except as niche opportunists to increase the universe's entropy faster by breeding and killing other critters. They may be incidentally useful as food, but the biomass can be filled by less harmful to higher lifeforms insects. Speaking of mosquitos, with all of the intense rain, southeast Texas is more akin to the deep South with enormous quantities of flying insects, i.e., moths, beetles, and tons of mosquitos. I setup the largest bug zapper I could find for one night, and it decimated about 2 lbs / 1 kg of insects in a pile so large, it clogged it and left the table it was on completely full of carcasses. IOW: the area needs more birds, if the cats and previous lack of flying insects would stop killing them.
