The World Without Mosquitoes Article

Why do mosquitoes truly matter? This article we read was about mosquitoes and how as we're getting rid of them, we're killing other animals as well that survive off of mosquitoes. It talks about how the mosquito fish species. will die unless they have mosquitoes which we eradicate. Then, it talks about how the herds of caribou that get 300 milliliters of blood drained from their bodies by mosquitoes. Afterwards, there's a mini-article that explains the weapons we're using against the mosquitoes and the other ways we get rid of mosquitoes. I feel like we're only killing mosquitoes for the safety of humans, not to benefit the ecosystems.
