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.

    I hate to say it, but getting rid of mosquitos would probably have bigger consequences than that. The females are the only ones sucking blood, the males on the other hand help pollinate plants, exterminating them could potentially affect our food production lines...

    ... But not gonna lie I'd still genocide the fuckers, ecological damage be damned.

      Only the females of a tiny fraction of species, and only when they need to produce eggs, stuck blood.

        Minimize their numbers as much as you want, but that won't stop me from having to deal with them in almost every single day of my life.
