Yet somehow the one species that avoided it is mosquitoes. I moved back to an area I lived in 15 years ago, I swear there's way more mosquitoes now.
Makes perfect sense, as human population grows, parasites and pathogens are going to thrive while the others will continue to die off.
When I moved to Los Angeles a huge selling point was no mosquitos. There are now invasive mosquitos, but most people don't mind enough to do anything about it. I might move again.
