Author Topic: Mosquitoes.  (Read 1954 times)

I'm not quite sure what purpose mosquitoes serve for the ecology.

If you just snapped your fingers and all the mosquito disappeared, our ecosystem would collapse.

Gnats aren't attracted to smell, they just swarm any living thing that walks in their territory
They like the warm salty water on your eyes.

Mosquitoes serve an important role for frogs.  Although there are many other bugs they can feast upon, mosquitoes serve a as a main peace of the frog diet.  It is like a circle of life, without frogs you would probably see 10x the mosquitoes then you see now.

I went into the woods and met them eye to eye and then we battled for an hour.

There needs to be more frogs then.

frogs and spiders eat mosquitoes, if mosquitoes disappear then so will frogs and spiders. If frogs and spiders disappear, then so will birds and what ever eats frogs, and eventually, so will we

frogs eat flies and stuff too.
THey don't need mosquitoes specifically.

I also said before that it is one of their main diets.

I'm going to correct the people here. And I won't quote.

Nipah- Frogs are carnivores. They not only depend on mosquitoes, they depend on other organisms as well. Large frogs eat smaller frogs and small turtles while a smaller frog would eat bugs and worms. So, the population of frogs won't dramatically decrease. This applies to spiders as well. They can feed of other insects. But the animals would have more competition since the mosquitoes are gone. Then the same goes to birds. There would just be more competition with food but the population won't decrease. They'll adapt. We won't disappear.


 
Jackbluejack- Frogs can live off other things.
