Useless animals?

Question

well since theres not really any category here on yahoo for venting random things i guess id put this in environment. the thing that really ticks me off is all these useless animals on the earth that have no purpose but to annoy us. the only ones i can think of are

Mosquitos

Flies

Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets

Poisonous Spiders

Locusts

any more that any of you can think of?

Answer 1

I agree on the mosquitos

Answer 2

Spiders are useful because they control all of the above.  All  are part of the food chain that supports other animals.  Surprised you didn't mention termites, cockroaches, earwigs, tapeworms, Phlebotomes, gnats, microscopic organisms, scorpions, fire ants although an aardwolf would disagree.  Alligators, Squirrels, beavers, hippos, lice, leeches, plus many more.  Maggots are one we would love to hate but their purpose is to break down tissue and dispose of rotting meat.

Funny thing is humans are on the top of the chart because we are not in the food chain, sap resources until they are depleted, waste everything and do not put anything back into the ecosystem.  That would make us one of the most worthless creatures on the face of the earth interesting enough.

Answer 3

well they really aren't useless they decompose and provide food for the grass and plants. Also they feed animals that are larger than them who are eaten by larger animals who are eaten by larger animals, and so on. So they really do make a huge difference if they never existed.

Answer 4

These are inscets.

They do have a purpose.

They feed other living creatures.

Such as birds, rodents, and other insects.

All are important!

Very imporatnt to the food chain.

Answer 5

every animal and organism has a purpose in the circle of life ..insects pollinate and provide food for other species

Answer 6

actually human are quite useless too, based on the fact that they lie on the couch and watch tv, deplete the earth of its natural resources, pollute rivers, cause the extinction of other animals by destroying their habitats and worse of all kill the other fellow human beings, and we think that other animals are more useless than we are :)

i believe we annoy the other animals too and they think that we have no purpose earning so much money.

Answer 7

No animal or insect is useless because they are all essentials to the food chain.

Answer 8

I noticed all of those are insects or arachnids. Don't like bugs? Bats like bugs. Spiders like insects. We need bats to pollinate cacti and feed larger animals. Spiders also feed larger animals. Without all the little, annoying creatures, we wouldn't have enough to feed the slightly larger, then we wouldn't have enough to feed the even larger.... and then we wouldn't have enough cows to run McDonalds. The end.

That's my basic explanation of the food chain. Thank you.
