And don’t say humans, too obvious, too cynical.

I’d delete mosquitos.

The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won’t have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

    Surely something else can be eaten. And there are many species of mosquito that do not eat human blood. I think we can nuke the species that does and still get by.

    Perhaps I’m under informed here.

      I think people in China had similar ideas about sparrows… Nature is immensely complex and I can’t think of a single instance in which human Intervention improved anything at all

        That’s fair. I’m entirely uninformed on the sparrows but I do understand nature is an endlessly complex system which we do not and probably can not ever truly understand. Not trying to be absolutist.

        But I do wish death on every blood sucking mosquito.
