If you could get rid of one animal or one insect in this world what would it be?

If I could, I’d get rid of mosquitos.

Can’t think of any animals other than humans I’d want to get rid of.

Centipedes. They have no reason to live.

@chyna, they do if they have love in their lives.

Skeeters. Yup. Hate ‘em.

Mosquitos or Republicans

It’s a toss up.

All insects would fall under one catagory and they would all be annihilated. completely obliterated. I am not bug friendly.

I, once again, agree with @Simone_De_Beauvoir

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@DrasticDreamer One of these days, we’ll agree in bed together.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Possibly, possibly, you never know. ;)

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@DrasticDreamer Exactly. PS: that’s what @cprevite is thinking as he’s writing his next comment, trust me.

cookieman's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir & @DrasticDreamer: So if I let the Mosquitos live, can I shoot the photos?

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir That is quite hilarious.
@cprevite Simone and I will have to talk it over.

cookieman's avatar

Y’all ought to start calling me Saran Wrap as I’m apparently that transparent.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@cprevite We’ll discuss protection later.

cookieman's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir: ROFL – you’re on a roll tonight.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@cprevite Yeah, you guys are now both in my fluther – woot!

cookieman's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir: Excellent! I’ll sleep well knowing this.

Fuck billed twattypuss, I mean it’s like nature used up all the spare parts on that “thing”
Oh & wasps!!!! I see a wasp within 10yds of me &.....well let’s just say I act like a human windmill with a soundtrack of a little girl screaming. Get rid of them, like yesterday.

@Cruiser My son was an earwig for Halloween when he was three!

I’d get rid of tomato fruitworms. Nasty little caterpillars that eat my tomatoes and grow up to be rather plain and ugly moths.

Whatever it is that sounds like it’s scampering around in the attic.

AC's avatar

@ucme TOTALLY with you on wasps. They bring out the involuntary robotron disco frenzy in me. Leave me to eat my barbeque in peace oh evil yellow pernicious one!

NaturallyMe's avatar

I’d have to say mosquitoes as well, as they bother me the most, especially on summer nights when you’re lying in bed and you hear one buzzing around.

papasan's avatar

Mosquitoes, house flies, along with a bunch of obnoxious republicans who serve the same purpose in life.

scarabaphile's avatar

1: insects are animals.
2: It would definitely be tea partiers.
