Answer 5

if mosquitoes suddenly went extinct it would cause major panic in the natural world  many species will go extinct dragon flies eat mosquito's they will be gone frogs eat both of them and so do many other animals small reptiles they may go extinct and then birds that survive from these type of animals will also suffer the there predator  and so on  if they don't find a major food source quick what else can they eat in readily supply when thats there major food source its like taking away all beef at first well yea its just beef but many people will starve prices will go way up for everything else there will be wide spread panic again in our world 2 while other foods take the impact which would be allot and it will have to be replaced probably pork or lamb but animals can not do that so ants have a place in the world in a similar fashion

Answer 6

There isn't a creature created that doesn't have a purpose for all creation is connected. Fire ants,for instance prey on Ticks for yards  etc that have fire ants usually have no ticks.Can you imagine a overpopulation of ticks that carry disease esp Lyme Disease and can disable animal and a human. Ants also carry off dead insects, bugs etc-scavengers so they play a important  role also in keeping the earth clean of  debris as well as diseases.Any living thing that decomposes has the potential of causing disease from the bacteria . released. Since they also eat plants etc they help to propagate vegetation,by spreading seeds and releasing spores.  We also learn  the importance of team work  in accomplishing success and survival .In ant society every ant knows its function and purpose and does whats expected of it-no slackers

Answer 7

different ants have different purposes

carpenter ants help in the natural decay of trees in the outdoors but will also infest homes that have water damaged wood

Harvester ants eat invading insects on trees and other plants

ants are like our own sanitation workers they clean up debris and food in the form of dead insects and organic matter they remove it from the environment and bring to the colony to feed;they are also great at air rating the soil the ant nests in the ground the ants excavate and bring soil particles to the surface.Ants are one of natures unsung hero's

Answer 8

If you think about it, all mosquitoes do is suck blood, and that too only to lay eggs, and only females. Why are male mosquitoes born? To help fertilize the female's eggs.

Ants, on the other hand, I believe, are put on this earth to be an example to all of us. They can show to us that sometimes, it's better to not ask questions, just blindly do as you're told and follow orders. They also show us that working hard non-stop can pay off in the long run, as a large anthill or many ants produced.
