Why Mosquitoes?

Q

I’m just wondering, why did God create mosquitoes if they’re such an annoying insect? Is the mosquito one of God’s implements for spreading plagues back then, or not? I’m just curious, that’s all. Thanks!

We can only observe the Creation in its fallen state. We have no idea what it was like before our first parents sinned. God may have had an entirely different destiny in mind for mosquitoes, just as He did for us. Or, like the thorns and thistles, mosquitoes may be part of the curse on the creation. In any case, we can’t really attribute annoyances like this to God. His work was perfect until man came along.
