What is the role of mosquitoes in the world, and are mosquitoes good for this world?

The significance of the existence of mosquitoes is to maintain the balance of the ecological environment.

Although mosquitoes are indeed very annoying, every creature on the earth has its purpose of existence, even mosquitoes are meaningful, and they may not be useful to humans, but for the biosphere, the existence of mosquitoes is very meaningful. Mosquito larvae feed thousands of species of fish in the Earth's water system, as well as many beneficial insects such as dragonflies, geckos, frogs, spiders, etc.

If mosquitoes suddenly disappear one day, like some birds, fish, frogs and other mosquito food animals, they can also go to eat some other insects, without the trouble of mosquito bites to spread diseases, the mammals in the forest will reproduce more smoothly, then the result is a large number of trees are gnawed, resulting in ecological imbalance. In terms of water, if these larvae are not available, then the water quality in nature will also be affected to a certain extent.

Mosquito hazards

1. Disease transmission

Mosquitoes can transmit a variety of diseases, such as malaria transmitted by Anopheles sinensis, Culex tribandifolia and Culex pale mosquitoes transmitting Japanese encephalitis, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus transmitting dengue fever, and Anopheles anthropophile transmitting filariasis, which are extremely harmful to humans.

2. Harassment

Mosquitoes suck blood at night, affecting sleep and hindering people's rest; Some mosquitoes suck blood during the day and interfere with normal work; In tourist attractions can influence the interest of tourists. Therefore, urban mosquito control is not only the need to ensure the health of residents, but also the need to improve the quality of the investment environment, which has indirect economic benefits.

The philosophical debate about intrinsic and instrumental values can become very complex. Just ask: a mosquito.

A tree. Or any other life. In essence.

Outside of the utilitarian purposes of humanity. Does it have its own inherent value?

In comfortable classrooms with air conditioning. This discussion may be intriguing, but if in the twilight on the edge of the swamp. It is unreasonable to discuss this issue. When our child may be infected with encephalitis. We will not hesitate to drive mosquitoes off the planet.

But. Think outside of egocentrism. Mosquitoes still play a role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

This value is not yet intrinsic to the species itself. Because ecological balance is also beneficial to human beings. It's just that we need to be less self-centered when we look at it.

One possible value of mosquitoes may be population control. Historically, mosquitoes have caused a worldwide depopulation. Now in the Third World, mosquitoes still play such a role.

The problem is that they do this by spreading plague and death.

Mosquitoes also control populations of some other animals by spreading diseases. There are also some creatures --- some fish. Frogs.

Birds and bats, etc. Feed on mosquitoes. If we exterminate mosquitoes.

Then some related species may face the dilemma of food shortages. Other species may have exploded in numbers as a result of a reduction in infectious diseases.

Another controversial value of mosquitoes. Probably by bringing [destructive humans"Isolated and effective in protecting some wilderness areas. A tsetse fly, which can cause sleeping sickness in humans and animals, has made humans afraid of certain wildlife refuges.

Don't dare to approach. This tsetse fly has thus been called [the best animal protection manager in Africa.]".Of course.

This view has also been described as [eco-imperialism".Any species that has evolved to survive has a purpose. Mosquito larvae live in water, some aquatic fish feed on mosquito larvae, adult mosquitoes feed on a lot of insects, and there are some mosquito-killing products for humans.

Any species that survives in continuous evolution has its meaning Mosquito larvae live in water Some aquatic fish feed on mosquito larvae Adult mosquitoes provide food for many insects There are also some products for killing mosquitoes such as mosquito coils, mosquito nets, flower water, etc. There are many ways to repel mosquitoes. Put mosquito coils at night and put them on the plate as soon as it gets dark Don't think about lighting them before going to bed.

Mosquitoes are too terrible to people, sucking your blood, the sea is poisonous, what the hell, I have no day, sucking one after another on the left of the body, it is really harmful to people's bodies.

Mosquitoes are listed as the world's top four pests, but that's just for people.

Every species in the food chain has a role.

In addition to transmitting viruses, mosquitoes maintain ecological balance, control the population of some organisms as an important link in the food chain, and also provide food for some predators. Such as bats, spiders, dragonflies, fish, etc. Without mosquitoes, many animals will survive much less, which will affect the survival of other animals, so that the biological chain will enter a vicious circle.

Spreading diseases allows some viruses and bacteria that are particularly dependent on mosquitoes to survive and maintain biodiversity. Saved many beneficial insects that feed on mosquitoes. Enhance human immunity, in the process of mosquito bites, a small number of germs enter the body, the body's own immune system responds, produces antibodies and produces corresponding memory cells at the same time, so that the human body can respond in time when the next time it receives the same or similar germs, it is likely to save a life.

Provide employment opportunities, such as mosquito coils.

1. The advantage of mosquitoes is that they not only kiss good people but also bite bad people, which can feed businesses that produce and sell mosquito control products, increase GDP and increase employment.

2. The advantage of mosquitoes is that they can eliminate karma for you. Chasing mosquitoes every night is also a sport! Wrists and arms can be exercised.

There are no mosquitoes, dragonflies, bats and the like are one less dish, there are no mosquitoes, those who sell mosquito coils and mosquito killers will be unemployed, and it is a market for mosquito repellent product manufacturers, without mosquitoes, bachelors will not experience the feeling of being kissed for a lifetime.

Scientifically speaking: mosquitoes will be very uncomfortable when they bite for the first time, and they will not react so strongly in the future.

Because after biting once, the human body will produce antibodies, and when it bites again in the future, it will play a certain role in immunity, which improves the body's immunity in general.

Mosquitoes are at least one link in the food chain.

Mosquitoes also carry their own unique genes, and their presence can enrich the gene pool in nature.

1. Control the number of other species, the reason why humans hate mosquitoes very much is that they are often bitten. But bites and sucking blood are indeed their most important role in nature. Due to the greedy bite of mosquitoes sucking blood, while injecting toxins wax back to swimming.

Mosquitoes become vectors of disease. In this way, mosquitoes have been declining in this way for millions of years, including humans. The most recent Ebola virus, which was transmitted by mosquitoes, has led to the depopulation of Africa.

Without mosquitoes, many diseases would be completely slowed down or stopped, and animal populations would increase accordingly. Overabundance of species in nature often leads to starvation and death, as well as damage to the environment. All mosquito species reduction is to protect the planet.

2. It is a kind of food**, mosquitoes are, from fish to birds and other creatures, reliable and necessary food**. Many organisms, like fish and birds, evolved with mosquitoes and evolved hunting techniques specifically designed to find and capture mosquitoes. If those mosquitoes are no longer there, these animals will have no primary food**, so their populations may decline, or go extinct.

In other harsh environments, mosquitoes are food for migrating animals and birds**. When birds migrate from south to north during the summer months, they rely on large numbers of mosquitoes for food. Many birds migrated and could not find food other than mosquitoes.

First-time migrating birds can rely on mosquitoes to stay alive. Without them, the migration process can be difficult to complete, and the number of birds that survive the migration may decline dramatically.

3. Environmental filter, mosquito as a natural filter is of great significance to the environment. Mosquito larvae grow in the water and feed on detritus, which float and clog the surface of the water, while mosquito larvae prevent debris from clogging the surface of the water and the plants in the water do not die due to lack of nitrogen and oxygen. If there are no mosquitoes to consume the waste, many plants and ecosystems may also disappear, so mosquitoes are a kind of environmental filter for activity.

4. Help pollinate plants, male mosquitoes do not feed on blood. Instead, he survives on the sugars present in the nectar of the plant. When male mosquitoes feed, they help pollinate plants of the same kind.

In subarctic climates such as northern Canada and Russia, mosquitoes play a major role in plant pollination. In other regions, mosquitoes are no worse than bees and butterflies when it comes to pollination. While the results of mosquito control may not be felt in all regions, they can be affected in those subarctic regions where plants rely on them for pollination.
