Do you HATE Mosquitos?

Every summer they come out in droves and every summer my family and I swat at them all evening. But I heard an interesting thing that might make you think twice before swatting them again!

3 reasons to LOVE Mosquito's:
  1. They are great moms: Mosquito's that bite you are typically females. Why? They need the rich protein in your blood to feed all of their offspring which in any given year can amount to an outstanding
  2. They have saved the Rain Forest: Ok, I don't know if this one is true or not, but think about it. Of all the areas on Earth, the Rain Forest has the most biodiversity, so it is important that us humans haven't been in there pillaging the jungle. Why haven't we? Mosquito's and their disease spreading abilities. Not to long ago folks who entered a Rain Forest would come down with Typhoid Fever or Malaria or some other jungle sickness. If it wasn't for those lovely Mosquito's we would have ruined the rain forest by now.
