I'm very fond of amphibians. Frogs,
toads, salamanders, newts, efts. They're a charming evolutionary dead
end. I almost forgot caecilians, an “order of limbless vertebrates
with rudimentary eyes, whose vision is limited to dark-light
perception and whose anatomy is highly adapted for a burrowing
lifestyle.” Lifestyle. Like condo living? Anyway, what I'm trying
to say is that amphibian populations are dropping precipitously
worldwide and they eat mosquitoes, so an itchy mosquito bite can
serve the valuable secondary function of feeding not only the
offending insect but also maybe a fat toad, giving meaning and
purpose to your blood sacrifice.
