Mozzies! Arghh!


What is the the point of mosquitoes?

It's a question as old as time itself but it has yet to be answered adequately. The best answer I've found is "they prevent overpopulation". As harsh (and funny) as that answer is, it doesn't really give a full answer. That's because not all mozzies are murdering little fuckers.

What about those mozzies that populate non-malaria areas? What's the point of them?

I reckon what has happened is that these sadistic half-gram buggers are the losers of the species and they know it. I mean, if all your cousins up north have this cool power to yield over humans and you have nothing you'd be pretty pissed off. So, to get their own back and show their cousins they're also cool they fly around your ear just as you're happily dozing off and cause you to slap yourself with rage while they flit off in that irritatingly smooth way to perch on the ceiling just out of your reach.

They then sit there and spit your own blood back at you as all you can do is try stare the thing to death while trying very hard not to have a heart attack.

On second thoughts, maybe "they prevent overpopulation" is a good answer after all.

  1. Little fuckers absolutely took me apart last night! I think evolution should come along and and build a mosquito small enough to bite real mozzies and give them all the diseases and sleepless nights! Yes, you may argue that evolution and mother nature have brought us the gecko, but once we've started building landscapes for them, they won't give a damn about the mozzies anymore and will slowly get into the fattening, unenergetic, sadisic way of human life and will start to devour eachother as they become more and more canabalistic. I think the mozzies are quite a cunning race then. They planned this all along. As soon as they have their arch enemies - the gecko - taken out, they will take over the world leaving nothing. Good luck homosapiens. [This is a message from Estarat - king of the southern hemisphere squadron of mosquitoes inc.]
