I hate mosquitoes but they do have s valid slot in the food web.
Ticks on the other hand can fuck off and die.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Ticks??? No no no no! They'll fight hard against injustice, with blue muscles and signature battle cry!
SPOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
The Tick gets a pass.
The sign says "No Ticks Club". We're allowed to have one.
You wouldn’t.
I would trade bats for no mosquitoes, not even close
Bats pollinate the plant that is used to make tequila.
I would hesitantly trade tequila for no mosquitoes, but admittedly you have somewhat shaken my beliefs.
I salute your conviction to the annihilation of mosquitos.
Something something the animals that do eat them will die and the whole ecosystem will collapse.
Or you’re Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch ¯\(ツ)/¯
Here! Educate yourself!
Aliens are using earth to rebuild the mosquito population! Without them they will glass the planet.
I hate mosquitoes too, but why do we keep insisting on changing/eliminating other creatures to suit us? Let's modify OURSELVES to smell like citronella, or better yet, let's make ourselves grow a thick coat of luscious, too-thick-for -mosquitoes fur! That should be relatively easy, and it would come with other benefits too.
Furry spotted
And (genetically) approved 🐒
I wish. Just an overworked TTRPG-Obsessed father. I'm currently playing a gnoll, so I tend to look at real world problems through the lens of a big hairy dude.
It would actually be of benefit to many other species (hence the meme)
Many mammals suffer from the scourge that is mosquitos just as much as we do
Good point!
We can’t do that because then mosquito bites will become extinct.
