  • As an Alien crash lands on Earth, apparently breathing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, a mosquito would mistake it for just a regular animal. Ingesting its blood it would be subjected to Gene altering mutations that would make the creature larger and more capable of bringing down sizeable prey, mainly humans. But how was this accomplished and what does this mean for this newly endemic species? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

    To add to the mosquito dilemma, only the females drink blood. The males are strict pollinators.
    So removing mosquitoes might not only threaten some animal species (such as bats which have mosquitoes as a huge part of their diets) but farms may also have problems as well. Granted there are other pollinators, but we only have a general idea on what species does the most work.

    - unsafely wise life lesson advices
    - roanoke's expert knowledge on car models
    - Team Fortress 2's 'more guns' playing in the background intensifying

Bats will take a handful when they start congregating in swarms, but they don't actively hunt them. As far as I know, NO animal are strictly mosquito consumers. There is, like, one bat species in Australia that has on average a 55% diet of mosquitos. Bats ARE, however, good at controlling the population of mosquitos when they get too large.

    How an animal flap its wings is important too because bees and hummingbirds both have smaller wings proportionally but that's because rather than just flapping their wings they flap their wings in a figure 8 motion.
    This is why for example hummingbirds can fly in basically any direction even upside down and also hover.

    As a longtime viewer of this channel i'm literally laughing my ass off at how this channel evolved from being known as the funny channel that starts with the feet to being that channel where a former scientist talks the maddest smack about anglerfish whose inciting reason shall remain elusive to our knowledge forever
    P.S. if you're reading this roanoke, i clicked on one of your dead space videos that randomly appeared on my feed one bored morning 4 years ago (i can't quite remember which one that was) and i have never regretted instantly subbing to you for every single day afterwards, you have been doing nothing but putting out some quality content that i always look forward to and seeing this channel grow this big has brought indescribable joy to me

    Honestly with the mosquito eradication stuff, if the population declines gradually like the virus would maybe do, it could allow many species to adapt to the decline of mosquitos and find other food sources. For my opinion, I’m worried about the insect eating bats the most with this

    Damn I'm so glad these old Syfy movies are getting attention even if it's debunking how silly they can be. Strange too, I JUST watched Larva without knowing and got reccomended your video on it IMMEDIATELY afterwards, and this previous Friday I watched Mosquito (because I mixed it up with the other one called Mosquito Man), but now you're covering this one too!
    I'd hope we get more Syfy monster breakdowns, like Sharktopus along with the other sequels' creatures, Dinocroc or Supergator (even tho funnily both are technically the same thing...), or hell even the ManEater Series has atleast some interesting choices in monsters (no Anglerfish tho....).
    Either way glad to see these movies are getting some sort of recognition!

    So now that you've done a video on Mosquito, should we expect a video on the movies Ticks and/or Slugs? There's also the lesser known killer mosquito movie called Skeeter. Sadly it's practically lost to time now.
    Edit: Don't male mosquitoes feed on nectar and help with the pollination of plants? Or is that just a myth? I would think wiping out mosquitoes would do more than just mess with the food chain for their predators.

    Won’t wiping out mosquitoes completely just massively ruin the food chain of things like bats & things that feed directly on mosquitoes?

    So I've learned two things from observation of biology and history. From biology I have learned that damn near everything lives in a state of extreme balance. From animals, to plants, to humanity, to the climate. Messing with that balance in even a small way has far reaching consequences. The thing I've learned from pretty much every historical moment where we've either introduced a new animal to a region, or have wiped out a species in order to help the population of a region, it pretty much always ends in, at bare minimum, many problems down the line with regards to another species becoming invasive. At worst it becomes a ecological disaster. Now, the animal ecology will recover in time, it always does. However, that does not mean it is okay to mess with that balance. The ending of one species will almost always lead to the ending of other species. Whether or not that has happened in history is completely irrelevant to the question of whether or not we have the right to do it. Me personally? I say we don't. Ultimately it's just more trouble than its worth to eliminate an entire species. Especially when you consider the possibility of diseases mutating and mosquitoes passing said genophage onto us.
