Ants lining around to get their food and some not lucky die in nectar. Nice picture depicting nature and a great title. I don't know whether this is the right place to ask a question. When I think about insects, I would die to wipe one species of insect from earth. An article about the insect in Wikipedia is "The most deadly animal in the world is the mosquito. It might seem impossible that something so miniscule can kill so many people, but it's true. According to the World Health Organization, mosquito bites result in the deaths of more than 1 million people every year. The majority of these deaths are due to malaria." Mr.Gandhi, When the technology has touched moon decades ago and moving towards Mars. Is it really that we human cannot reduce their count? The death rates are more in countries with less economic growth and /or corrupt countries. Sad that India is a subset of the previously mentioned list where the death rate is considerable. Most well grown countries don't care much since their extreme cold climate controls mosquitoes. Hence they don't bother. Coming to India, I had been in New Delhi for over 5 years. Though cases of dengue arises, hardly we can see mosquitoes for only 3 months because the extreme summer and winter drives the mosquitoes away. And coming on to central and southern India, the story is reverse and gets a direct hit. Industries gaining heavily by selling pest control products, medicines for treatment and the governments spending billions of rupees and personally gaining out of it, I could barely see any hard core steps taken by any government. Is it good that rich people sleep in a controlled environment and poor get exposed and die. Many genius predict human race will end after certain centuries but even after losing our fellow brothers and sisters to malaria, dengue every day, we have no target date/ intentions to wipe miniscule mosquito. My question to Mr.Gandhi, "Is this the world, we are going to leave for the future generation"
First, I am sorry that I somehow did not respond to you immediately.
Now, to mosquitoes, which are apparently, from your note, your greatest concern in the universe; if indeed you are looking beyond our inconsequential, insignificant, home planet, Earth.
As far as is known, and now almost certainly with enough scientific evidence, we are living on the only planet which contains life. Life derives from a single unit of dna, extremely complex in its multiplicity. We have tackled mosquitoes as we have tackled polio and countless other viruses, bacteria, and whatnot that did not agree with our well-being. Unfortunately, just as we continuously attack them, so they are continuously mutating. However, at the root, man's biggest enemy is not the mosquito, but we ourselves, human beings.
More, after you have digested the above and feel hungry for more.

Thanks for your reply. No problem about the delay as we know how occupied you are.
