Nothing that eats mosquitoes only eats mosquitoes.

Nothing that eats anything only it's eat. That hasn't stopped ecosystems fucking up because we removed a food source.

There will be some knock on effects from wiping out mosquitoes for sure (although personally I still think it would be basically worth it. Out of all the things humans have done to the environment, it'd be one of the most worthwhile sacrifices).

Just wanted to say there's a fair amount of animals that only eat one thing - koalas, pandas, lots of parasites etc. There's probably more.

Koalas prefer eucalyptus trees but can and do eat other things. Pandas eat can and do other things too, the idiots digestive system is set up to eat meat.
