Funnily enough they're a primary food source for bats! Definitely necessary despite their annoyance.

Bats don't feed on anopheles mosquitoes. I'm sure some bats feed on some mosquitoes, but do any bats feed exclusively or primarily on mosquitoes that transmit malaria or yellow fever to humans?

Alright Captain Literal, but my point still stands that generally speaking, bats do consume mosquitos, maybe that _not that specific type_ of bat, or _that specific type of mosquito_, but yes, bats consume mosquitos.

Christ talking to people on this site is like talking to the most literal supernerd of all time who just needs to always have a point. It's like reddit 2.0.

Lol. I thought you were being kinda literal too. I obviously didn't mean eradicate all mosquitoes - just the species that hurt humans. So I felt the same way as you. That's kind of funny.

Anyway, take care my friend.
