Mosquitoes specifically can all fuck off and die without anything really noticing. Anything that uses them as a food source has other options. They provide no net benefits in the way bees, spiders, worms, or basically anything else does.
The rest of the multi-legged realm is kind of really fucking important.
Even if there were some ecological consequences to wiping out mosquitos, they kill so many people that it’d probably be a net gain for us as long as we could do it in a precise and targeted way. Wiping them out without wiping everything else out is the hard part.

Thinkimg about it, more humans is a terrible ecological effect as of current lifestyle and economics norms.

Yes, I was trying to be sarcastic. I’m actually kind of an entomologist.
We need them but I’m not eating them
