why did god make mosquitos?

Question

IF god created everything for a purpose
WHY THE MOSQUITO?!?!?

Answer 1

You'd think there were enough blood sucking pests as it was, wouldn't you?

Answer 2

"God" wanted to show that he could create small delicate things, and not just easy stuff like rhinos, zebras, and panda bears. The creation of the mosquito required extremely good vision and dexterity. The "drilling" mechanism of a mosquito is very complicated, and incredibly minute. To test his creation and it's intricate mechanism, he decided that it would suck blood from other animals. This seemed like a good idea at the time, as many of the animals he created had very thick hides, or thick coats of fur or hair. So making it necessary for the mosquito to be able to suck blood from all these different creatures in order to survive, was the ultimate test of his ability as a "creator". He apparently didn't give much thought to the problems that mosquitos would pose for the humans he had created. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

In some regions the deer come down from the mountains to the lower elevations in the winter. During the summer, however, the mosquitoes hatch out in these lowland areas. This causes the deer to return to higher elevations to escape the mosquitoes.

If it were not for this migration, the deer would quickly strip the vegetation in one area. This migration causes the deer to move before the plants are destroyed.

Answer 4

The bats ,birds and fish have to eat too. After Adam's fall God said things would be tougher.So animals eat mosquitos and mosquitos like us (and other animals blood).A fair trade I guess.

Answer 5

Silly. He loves the mosquito. He created all these people just to feed it.

Answer 6

He needed something to spread the Ross River virus he'd created.

Answer 7

I imagine the same reason he created earwigs. To fly/crawl around my house and freak me out.

Answer 8

Why roaches and flys?
There are 8,400,000 different species of life, beginning from the highest intellectual being, down to the insignificant ant, and all of them are enjoying the material world according to the desires of the subtle mind and gross material body, and these varieties are creations of the material nature. They arise from the different sensual pleasures of the living entity[the spirit soul, us], who thus desires to live in this body or that. When he is put into different bodies, he enjoys different kinds of happiness and distress.
Materially attached men are wasting their valuable time in the improvement of the material conditions of life by sleeping, indulging in sex life, developing economic conditions and maintaining a band of relatives who are to be vanquished in the air of oblivion. Being engaged in all these materialistic activities, the living soul entangles himself in the cycle of the law of fruitive actions. This entails the chain of birth and death in the 8,400,000 species of life: the aquatics, the vegetables, the reptiles, the birds, the beasts, the uncivilized man, and then again the human form, which is the chance for getting out of the cycle of fruitive action.
The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects.
After taking shelter of his mind’s desires and obtaining his next body and senses, the living entity begins to exploit his specifically allotted sense objects.
Our particular body—its eyes, ears, tongue, nose, and all else—is formed around our mind’s desires. If we desire to fly, to hang-glide, for example, why undergo the tribulation of artificially attaching ourselves to wings? If our life’s pleasure is scuba-diving, why go to the trouble of having to resurface to fill our air tanks? It’s easier to become a fish. Based on the mind’s desires, a gross body is generated with a particular facility for pleasure.
Krishna now answer the question of why people can’t see this happening.
"The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this."
Those who lack knowledge are vimüdhas[fools]. They are blinded by unending attempts to enjoy their senses. Because they identify with the happiness and distress arising from the senses, they remain unable to distinguish matter from spirit. Their intense desire for bodily and mental pleasure has covered their ability to experience their own spiritual existence.
What is the cure for this ignorance? Krishna says "knowledge". Those “whose eyes are trained in knowledge” by hearing and learning sästra[scriptures, like Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad gita] can see. Lack of sästric learning brings about the following result.
11 "The endeavoring transcendentalists, who are situated in self-realization, can see all this clearly. But those whose minds are not developed and who are not situated in self-realization cannot see what is taking place, though they may try to.
Pure-hearted spiritualists see that the soul transmigrates. The blind who lack knowledge see nothing. Even one without knowledge, however, can see Krishna in His opulent manifestations in matter and become attracted to Him.

Answer 10
