And many more to come.

Regarding not harming the mosquitoes, I was surprised when a mosquito expert said on TV that it probably wouldn’t hurt anything if we lost a species or two because there are so many. They never say that! But if they were going to, you’d think it might just be about mosquitoes. Bless their tiny hearts.
