Wait, More Mosquitoes = Less Disease?

Turns out, making your yard more mosquito-friendly might actually help stop the spread of nasty diseases like dengue! Researchers in Costa Rica found that when there’s more mosquito biodiversity (yep, more types of mosquitoes), it’s harder for invasive, disease-carrying species to take over. Simple things like planting trees for shade can help native mosquitoes thrive and keep the bad ones out. Wild, right? Who knew a little rewilding could be a secret weapon against bug-borne illnesses? #MosquitoFacts #Biodiversity #EcoTips #Science
