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 can pick a fight with a wasp and win it. But mosquitoes sneak up on you and once you notice the little bastards it's already too late.

I like the thought of an animal that already existed, terrifying, gruesome and truly terrible. But we humans were given a wish to extinguish a single type of animal from the face of the earth. And so we whose. And all memory of this horror from the dark was lost as it was cast into oblivion and humanity was relieved from its existence. Now all we are left with are in comparison cuddly squeaky companions of the animal kingdom and all is well, even the animals are glad to got rid of the horror. And now you ask that question when everything truly necessary was already done and now we ponder which one is the worst when all is well.

My dog. Nobody's gonna miss his awful farts or massive shits.

Seagulls. These fuckers shit on everything, they scatter your garbage all over the place and they're noisy.

And these tiny black insects that are small enough to get into picture frames and computer screens. Fuck then.

And that Brazilian penis fish that swims into your urethra. That im thing is just the stuff of nightmares.

Seagulls are fine, it is people who leave trash out that create the problem

All the people saying humans in this thread are the reason humans should be deleted.

Humans. Can you imagine how happy all of nature's spicies would be to get rid of this murderous polluting ravaging selfish disease of species called human? All animals to start to breath clean air, restore their trees and natural habitat, slowly recover their climate, and the fish thriving without plastic , toxic waste and oil pollution. It is the best animal to delete for positive outcome no other choice comes close.

Nature will never be happy. Nature will always be tearing itself apart. I vote "all animals" for deletion.
