I hate mosquitoes too, but why do we keep insisting on changing/eliminating other creatures to suit us? Let's modify OURSELVES to smell like citronella, or better yet, let's make ourselves grow a thick coat of luscious, too-thick-for -mosquitoes fur! That should be relatively easy, and it would come with other benefits too.

I wish. Just an overworked TTRPG-Obsessed father. I'm currently playing a gnoll, so I tend to look at real world problems through the lens of a big hairy dude.

It would actually be of benefit to many other species (hence the meme)

Many mammals suffer from the scourge that is mosquitos just as much as we do
