And don't say humans, too obvious, too cynical.

I'd delete mosquitos.

The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won't have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

    Mosquitos are important pollinators and have a very important place at the bottom of the food chain.

      Surely something else can be eaten. And there are many species of mosquito that do not eat human blood. I think we can nuke the species that does and still get by.

      Perhaps I'm under informed here.

        I think people in China had similar ideas about sparrows... Nature is immensely complex and I can't think of a single instance in which human Intervention improved anything at all

          That's fair. I'm entirely uninformed on the sparrows but I do understand nature is an endlessly complex system which we do not and probably can not ever truly understand. Not trying to be absolutist.

          But I do wish death on every blood sucking mosquito.
