I will definitely say, NO. When I was still working in the field 2 years ago, I took all the precautions not to be bite by a mosquito. I had used mosquito repellant but it wasn’t effective. Then, one time working in the office. I suddenly felt the weak and high fever. I need to excuse myself from my incompetent boss. At my rented place, I suddenly felt the signs and symptoms of having Dengue. The following day, I decided to travel back to my city and be confined to the hospital. That’s really a hell experience for me and it comes to a point that I just need to use mosquito net wherever I go especially in the lowland areas. Thus, a mosquito is not a harmless insect.

Mosquitoes are always very annoying. Luckily they are not available indoors since the temperature is lower because of the air-conditioners. And today it seems the mosquitoes are less outdoors. Perhaps this is the positive feedback because our government's action to get rid of them.

@Shavkat If they have the determination, they will do it quite well. The problem is whether they have it or they just pay attention to the profit.

Mosquitoes bring many diseases. They're really are harmful not harmless.

@Shavkat yeah that's right. Being clean means being free from diseases.

We have Zika virus in South, Central, and now North America. It is awful for babies born with it.

I do wonder why they were created? They do more harm than solution. Or is it? Same goes with cockroaches.

I guess it was created because it balances everything in this world.
