        1. Ticks, mosquitoes, … aren’t just one species.
        2. The species that go extinct are mostly local ones that don’t have large numbers to begin with. While one individual mosquito is insignificant to a ridiculous degree, mosquitoes as a whole, even just one species, play a much bigger role than the Northern Fuckwitted Summerbunny of East Whateverstan could ever do.
