WHAT GOES WITH MOSQUITOES?

Those doggone, pesky mosquitoes,

Do they fit environmental credoes…

Malaria comes

Because of those bums,

The bloodsuckers drill through a Speedo!

–

On the tundra, fifty percent,

Of life–without mosquitoes–will have went…

They make easy food

With a good attitude,

Of major consequence.

–

Reindeer migration routes

Affected by mosquito soups…

Avoiding the buzz

Important because

Places need time to recoup.

–

Mosquitoes clean dirty water

Then feed fish and bugs as they oughter…

Many birds eat them too,

And “swallow” a few*

On the wing near the surface of water.

–

Females go after the blood,

To nourish their eggs in the flood…

Males in the sector

Survive on nectar,

For which pollination is good.

–Jonathan Caswell

* swallows…are one of the several bird types that eat mosquitoes “on the fly”–while flying.
