Hard disagree on both. Only two species of mosquitoes are a problem, and the males are important pollinators.
Wasps are so diverse that there’s so many that are cool! Lots of wasps are obligated pollinators like fig wasps. And they play a very valuable role as pest control as well. Hatchet wasps for example hunt roaches.
Wasps are bros, spiders are bros, and (outside of a. egypti) mosquitoes are pretty cool. Check out this pretty blue one (s. cyaneus)
Very cool and self reflective response. I appreciate that. But there are >3000 species of mosquito. I don’t study them, but check out some biologists tubers. They are much more equipped the defend the little guys.
(I’ll also expand my limited knowledge on mosquitos in the meantime.)
Wasps taking a close second.

I’m super curious where these ">"s came from? I didn’t say any of that.
Admittedly I had assumed that “mosquitos” was referring to just the malaria distributing ones… which was a pretty big assumption on my part.
When I said “wasps” I woefully neglected specificity: introduced (non native) wasps.
