RE: A Cloud of Mosquitoes Puts the Bees Out of a Job (Fiction)

@donkeypong has a great imagination, you can compete with stephen spielberg or james cameron as a screenwriter and director.

Regarding the beginning of the publication. It is possible that one scientist genetically modifies the instinct to suck blood from moquitos.

This is as if Count Dracula had been genetically modified and his desire to suck blood changed him to want to eat chicken in KFC.

Yes, I got that idea from the first article I linked in the post, which was recent and quite genuine. Male mosquitoes (and both sexes of one mosquito species) actually feed only on plant nectar, not on blood. There is a scientist looking for the gene that makes female mosquitoes attracted to blood, because if they can turn that one off, then mosquitoes would not bite anymore.
