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.

You've been fortunate lol

I've been on walks in parks that got too close to someone's nest and been charged. Those maniacs have serated tongues and beaks. I'm not kidding. You don't want to be bit by these maniacs
