A world without mosquitoes……

What would the world be like without mosquitoes?  Would their absence damage the food chain or affect other species?  Would we miss getting a bite or two?  It’s very hard to disagree that enjoying our backyards all spring, summer, and even early fall without them would be delightful.  However, if they serve a purpose, we wouldn’t want to mess up the ecosystem!  The article below from the Scientific Journal Nature  says that if the mosquitoes were completely eliminated, it wouldn’t make an impact.  Even though we are far from eradicating all the mosquitoes, here is the very interesting article.  Send it to your friends!
