And don’t say humans, too obvious, too cynical.
I’d delete mosquitos.
The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won’t have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

Ticks.
They seem to just make everything worse, and I don’t think anything only eats ticks. Not to mention the diseases they carry.
Possums eat ticks. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make, ticks are awful.
Possums don’t live exclusively on ticks, they don’t even particularly have a penchant for eating ticks. There was just one study that showed they could eat ticks and potentially have a resistance to some diseases.

Possums sure can eat some other bug/arachnoid don’t need those vermin.
Ticks and mosquitos.
Do they make everything worse in ways other than disease?
I don’t think they have much effect on the flora of an area, but humans are not the only fauna that are harmed by ticks.
Also they get in my dreams and I usually have at least one tick related nightmare a year, so please do understand I speak with some hyperbole.
