CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What would happen if flies became extinct? (What would happen if flies became extinct?)

1. Will it affect the ecological balance if all flies and mosquitoes are exterminated?

It is currently believed that the extinction of mosquitoes will not have a big impact. There are very few animals that feed entirely on mosquitoes. Of course, this requires the exclusion of midges that do not bite humans. If flies become extinct, the current ecology of the earth should completely collapse in a short period of time. Flies are important scavengers.

2. What would happen if mosquitoes became extinct?

This kind of thing is not easy to become extinct! Dinosaurs have become extinct, but mosquitoes and flies cannot become extinct. If they become extinct, there may be no water in the world! Where there is water, there are mosquitoes!

3. Will flies become extinct?

It will not become extinct because

1. Flies have amazing reproductive capacity.

Flies can reproduce 10 to 12 generations a year. According to the most conservative estimate, each female fly can produce 200 offspring. So, 100 female flies will only need 10 generations to reproduce a total of 200 trillion flies!

2. Strong ability to adapt to the environment.

Where you can adapt, flies can definitely adapt. Where you cannot adapt, flies can also adapt. But where flies can live, you may not be able to live.

3. Flies are very important in the food chain of the ecosystem. They are the staple food of many organisms. If flies become extinct, many organisms will become extinct. At the same time, if mosquitoes become extinct, the bodies of dead animals will decompose more slowly, thus affecting grasslands, water sources, and animal distribution. They will also spread diseases, leading to species extinction, and directly affecting human survival. Haven't you heard about the news that Australia imported dung beetles? Flies cannot be exterminated just because you want to!
