"Mosquitoes! What good are they?", I have heard myself say. I have said something similar about flies and fleas and bugs in general. I finally decided to look it up. I hoped to find, Bugs! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing! I am sad to say, I was wrong. Bugs are useful, even necessary. First, spiders keep the bug population down. We would be over run by bugs if they didn't. Bees, flies, and mosquitoes pollinate, very important for humans . Fleas and, yes, cockroaches, as well as other pest have value. They are a vital food source for birds, fish, lizards and mammals. Many bugs are a valuable source of protein, essential vitamins and minerals. A lot break down decaying organic waste and release essential nutrients into the soil. Some can be used in forensic science, scientific and medical research. Bugs! We need them. We can't live without them. They make our lives better. After all my research, I have come to the conclusion that, I STILL DON'T WANT BUGS IN MY HOME!!!!
