These insects are the most dangerous in the world for humans, are responsible for the death of more than a million people every year, and are transmitters of infectious diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. That’s why so many people hate them so much!

There is no single opinion among scientists about what would happen if the 3,500 species of mosquitoes that exist would disappear. It is true that it would cause a problem for insects, spiders, salamanders, lizards, and frogs that eat them, but studies suggest they might find another source of food. However, it is believed that other animals could not adapt to their new diet and would disappear as would be the case of the mosquito fish, generating an effect on the entire food chain.
