Fuck, can we just make them extinct already? It's probably the one thing nearly every animal on the planet is hoping we make extinct
And before anyone comes in here with their "Nooo mosquitoes a pARt oF tHe fOoD ChAIn" you're at best a mosquito apologist, the food chain will be fine (We only need to make the blood sucking sub-species's extinct)
How will far-future archeologists get blood samples encased in amber from our era?
But then how will we have a real life Quaternary Park movie, a billion years in the future?
Unfortunately, mosquitoes are also pretty important pollinators (they only consume blood when laying eggs), and goodness knows we can't really afford to lose more of those.
I see 2 possible solutions on this point. 1, most people primarily spray insecticide to control mosquitos which harms bees as a side effect. If we got rid of mosquitoes altogether, spraying would drop significantly and the bees might return
2, there's something like 3-6 thousand different mosquito sub species and only a handful suck blood and even fewer of that target humans. We could do away with those few species and replace them with some other sub-species that are either close enough naturally or through further genetic alterations.
