Imagine a world where the familiar buzz of mosquitoes is gone and itchy bites are a distant memory. That might sound like a dream—no more malaria, dengue or Zika! But nature is a delicate web, and even tiny mosquitoes have roles in it. Scientists have actually studied this question: if all mosquitoes disappeared, would ecosystems collapse or simply shrug it off? The surprising answers mix good news for humans with some ecological caveats. In this fun Q&A, we’ll tackle questions like: What roles do mosquitoes play in nature? Who eats them? Could plants miss their pollinators? Would we really be better off without them? Along the way we'll share some science-backed facts and even a few analogies (think “nobody eats only rice, but losing rice still leaves us very hungry” to keep things light. Ready to dive in? Let’s explore the curious case of a mosquito-free world!
