Did You Know The Benefit of Mosquitos?

Did you know the benefit of mosquitos? In an area prolific with mosquitos, this topic of conversation often comes up. After watching a hiking program last night which mentioned a benefit of mosquitos, I decided to look it up. And of course, I should have thought of these obvious benefits of mosquitos: -They help pollinate plants; specifically mentioned on the program was blueberries -They are low on the food chain allowing for those of us higher up to sustain our selves and this one not so obvious: -They have contributed to our medical advances; synthetic anesthesizers for example as well as super small injection needles
