On HN several times (that I&#x27;ve observed), this issue has come up and the starting point of the discussion acknowledges the fact that &quot;mosquito&quot; is not just a single species.  And we&#x27;re mostly all just lay people on the subject who can use google.<p>It&#x27;s disappointing to see an ostensibly researched article not even approach our remedial level.  I wonder why anyone would upvote it.
