What animal could you delete from existence with a mostly positive outcome for the planet? (aussie.zone)

And don't say humans, too obvious, too cynical.

I'd delete mosquitos.

The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won't have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

My main concern is hygene, nothing more (spread of jerms and viruses)... other than that, I have no problem living with all sorts of insects.

I was in Egypt once and stayed in a trailer in the middle of the desert (long story 😂). Anyway, the trailer was kinda dusty, so I decided to clean it a little bit. I pull the bed, a big fucking spider underneath it... OK, I guess we're not cleaning inder the bed 😂. Pull a drawer, a scorpio inside... OK... so, that about sums up my cleaning for the day 🤣.

My point is, I wasn't scared of them. They attack only of you do stuff to them, you stay out of their way, they won't do amything to you ☺️.
