RE: THE VAMPIRES OF THE TROPICS : An exhaustive overview

in #steemstem6 years ago

Nice way to talk science, @cyprianj i bet if my moden biology textbook had been this intresting i might have turned out a midecal student..
I learnt new stuffs, but i have some qustions..

The anti musquito cream, does it have any side effects..?

While in sec.school, i heard about economic importance of many insects and animals but never of this little but mighty, so is there no benefit of this mrs Anophlini..?
Was nice going through your article, looking forward to the next episold

@arinzechukwu

Sort:  

Only "benefit" is that some other animals eat them, I suppose. Still not worth it. Mosquitoes need to be exterminated.

nope. they are important in the food chain and food web. their anihilation will indirectly affect us all.

There has to be another insect that DOESN'T KILL MILLIONS OF AFRICANS every year that can take their place in the food web.

each organism has its niche which can never be occupied by any other organism. Such is the complexity of nature. A small flux can create a huge change

@gentleshaid, please do explain further how annihilation of mosquitoes will affect us in a negative way. I know some countries have managed to annihilate mosquitoes.

Lol...that's some mein words @edumurphy, but with what these little creatures are doing to us, they deserve no mercy..
I think more sensitisation should be done so as to reduce the breeding of these..

Lol..... Thanks for the compliments @arinzechukwu
The cream basically has no effect in the body. The major work is just to ward off the mosquitoes due to the odour emanating from it

Okay...I guess I will go look for one, cos the way am been socked here in this tropic, I sometimes imagine if I still have enough...
