Question

K well im doing a science summer school project and right now we are doing ecosystem c**p.. bleh. anyways, i need to do and interview, and heres a question i need to ask. im not lazy ive done all the other questions , but i cant find this 1. So if mosquitos died, would it effect our eco system, and if so what would happen?? thanks

Answer 1

i really have been like asking every one that an no one really know cause really what do they do??

Answer 2

It might effect the ecosystem in some aspects. Mosquitoes are a source of food for animals like frogs, insects like spiders and even plants like venus fly traps.

Answer 3

Mosquitos are a food source for numerous animals...we will call them little a

Mosquitos are a very important part of the food chain...we will call mosquitos MQ

The numerous animals that consume mosquitos are the food of the animals higher on the food chain...we will call them big A.

So, if MQ is readily available for a. Then, a will be readily available for A.  And if MQ diminishes, then a and A will diminish.

So, yes I think it would effect are eco-system if mosquitos died.

Answer 4

Of course it would. You farting affects the ecosystem. It's all a matter of degrees. There are certainly plenty of things that eat mosquitoes though not exclusively as far as I know. Still in some niches they could make up a significant part of an organism diet and the complete removal of them would certainly decrease the numbers of that organism.

Answer 5

bats would die i think, things that eat misquitos...blah blah idk

Answer 6

Dragonflies, bats, and frogs, as just a few examples, eat mosquitos.  Mosquito larvae are eaten by several aquatic animals as well.

Try this; mosquitos die out so frogs and bats are forced to start eating other insects by the truckload.  This is detrimental to the fly population.  Less flies means less maggots means carcasses and other dead things aren't destroyed/eaten by the maggots.  This means that raccoons start eating all this stuff and their population explodes.  Raccoons are everywhere and rabies starts to spread amongst them, and due to their high numbers interactions with humans are constant.  Rabies amongst humans becomes an epidemic and vaccinations can't be distibuted quickly enough.  As a result, billions of humans die...How's that sound
