I work in a laboratory researching malaria. We have our own mosquito breeding room. We infect them, wait until the parasite has grown inside its midgut and then dissect the mosquitos. Mosquitos look pretty neat under the microscope. Ask me any questions, if you like :)

Mosquitos have probably killed more people than any other animal in history. Malaria alone is one of the deadliest diseases to ever afflict mankind. This should be pushed down even further on that basis alone.

Everybody hates mosquitos. :'(

@IsaacKing they can pollenate these nuts. Until they stop making me itchy as hell the stock is going to the floor

Select quotes:

"Yet in many cases, scientists acknowledge that the ecological scar left by a missing mosquito would heal quickly as the niche was filled by other organisms."

"Mosquitoes are delectable things to eat and they're easy to catch."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_insect-borne_diseases

Wikipedia's "List of insect-borne diseases" is divided into "mosquitoes", "other insects" and "direct parasites". The list of diseases carried by mosquitoes is longer than the lists for all other insects combined.

Also, mosquito bites suck.
