Bees and butterflies don't pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc

mosquitoes can fuck right off. the rest stays.

Actually mosquitos help as well, they are a food source for many other insects and animals. It’s just a food chain (and you are at the bottom… with that sweet, sweet blood)

I remember reading a long time ago that most insects are a very protein dense food source ... beef when looking at the whole cow is about 50%-60% protein overall .... while an insect is about 90% protein.

if you're not concerned about the texture crickets taste almost exacly like peanuts

Without mosquitoes many birds and bats (also both great pollinators) would die out :(
