Mosquitos are one of the most prolific pollinators, I think you’d find most biologists would tell you this.

really, they are that relevant in pollination too? I thought it was some nutrient feedback link from large fauna to lake environments.

Here’s some mostly true facts about them in an easy to digest way:

But yes. Mosquitos are more than just blood suckers.

All his true fact videos are amazing and pretty well researched.

He just makes them palatable, enjoy!

Damn, can’t even hate on mosquitos. Where will this ever end?

BTW I recently learned the itchiness is just allergies. Some people aren’t allergic to mosquito bites and donate their blood to them without consequences. Other than the odd transmitted disease, of course.

Frankly I’m waiting for humans to start infecting mosquitos with something instead of the other way around.

I’m pretty sure we do, we just just couldn’t care less.
