Flies

They are so annoying

[โ€“] NoSpotOfGround 1 points 1 year ago

Tiny (and some of them are absolutely minuscule) flying daredevils that can zoom in three dimensions through wild air currents to avoid your hand every time and land wherever they please? Nah, I respect flies. They're... perfected.

Flies serve many roles in nature. They help spread beneficial bacteria and mushroom spores. They are also food sources for various small animals, insects and arachnids. Sure they are annoying and creepy, but they have a place.

Wild hogs. They're invasive, they're spreading like crazy in Prairie Canada and Midwest USA.

I like the thought of an animal that already existed, terrifying, gruesome and truly terrible. But we humans were given a wish to extinguish a single type of animal from the face of the earth. And so we whose. And all memory of this horror from the dark was lost as it was cast into oblivion and humanity was relieved from its existence. Now all we are left with are in comparison cuddly squeaky companions of the animal kingdom and all is well, even the animals are glad to got rid of the horror. And now you ask that question when everything truly necessary was already done and now we ponder which one is the worst when all is well.

Humans. Can you imagine how happy all of nature's spicies would be to get rid of this murderous polluting ravaging selfish disease of species called human? All animals to start to breath clean air, restore their trees and natural habitat, slowly recover their climate, and the fish thriving without plastic , toxic waste and oil pollution. It is the best animal to delete for positive outcome no other choice comes close.
