it's quite possible that mosquitoes that don't require a male to procreate will take dominance. I think there are wasps like that...

We definitely should. I'm sure there are factors in the ecosystem that rely (but maybe not depend) on mosquito presence. That's why I love the idea of being able to genetically mod…
