This is an article about mosquitoes. This article was very interesting because it talked about mosquitoes and talks about what if mosquitoes disappear? And would anyone or anything miss them? I´m going to talk about some informations of mosquitoes first.
Mosquitoes have been on Earth for 100 million years and there are 3,500 named species of mosquito. Mosquitoes live in almost every place. Mosquitoes infects at least 247million people worldwide each year, and they also kill one million people. Mosquitoes spreads lots of diseases like yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, Chikungunya virus and West Nile virus.
Mosquitoes consume up to 300 millilitres of blood a day from from each animal in caribou herd. Mosquitoes are delectable to eat and they are easy to catch.
In this article they said that if mosquitoes disappear it would be bad because they serve important functions in numerous ecosystems and they said wiping species of mosquito could leave a predator. And I also think that mosquitoes are not all that bad. They may spread diseases but they also help us too. So if you want to see informations of mosquitoes go look in this link http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100721/full/466432a.html
