Do mosquitoes have a purpose? Can they be eradicated? Are they really that important? I mean how useful can an obnoxious little pest that makes you itchy all over be?

Personally I would have to say that it would be bad to get rid of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are such vital parts of some ecosystems that getting rid of them could truly ruin a perfectly good ecosystem.

I think we can get along can’t we? Just use bug spray.
