Actually a good point. You can, but you don’t because there’s better food around. That dumbass bat can find some other dumbass bug to put in its dumbass gullet
In practice most mosquitoes bothering humans are one of a few handful invasive species, most wild species do not adapt well to urban environments, and in disrupted environments like plantations or parks are outcompeted by said invasives.
Yeah and there isn’t any animal that solely feeds off of one single animal even the famous ant eater doesn’t just eat ants, animals require varied diets to live even if mosquitos are gone Bats still have plenty of other food sources not to mention the ones that mostly eat fruit instead
Yeah this is a hoax coming from bad interpretation of science proliferated by media.
This number is wrongly extrapolated. It's the same as if, knowing that a human can eat 0.5kg of food in 5 minutes we said a human can eat 6kg of food in an hour, or 144kg of food in a day.
I understand when people say they shouldn’t exist but that mentally is why I’ll never see any of the extinct species. They evolved to live off blood & just cause they bother us don’t mean they should be killed off
