mosquitoes have anybody??? To me they just hop from person to person injecting blood and causing an annoying itchy bloody lump. They must have been put on earth for some reason and i can not think of anything. anybody know why they are here.

Mosquitoes serve a vital ecological function. The larvae, pupae, and adults are important as food for fish, birds, bats, frogs, and insects.

So there, they need US as food so that they can be food for all the other things that need them to survive. Top of the food chain my a$$!!

My pet theory is that mosquitoes have evolved over many geologic periods reaching their collective destiny in our lifetime - to annoy the hell out of Arkon.

Sydney Biologist Dr N Beebe, suggests Mosquito saliva maybe useful in treating heart disease.

"Mosquito saliva contains molecules which prevent clotting and also dilates blood vessels without side effects, as opposed to current medication."

There you go.
