You if bugs didn't exist:

(Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce.)

Even mosquitoes? Please tell me we can live without them.

Some male mosquitoes pollinate flowering plants, but most grasses don't make flowers so grasses atleast probably don't rely on mosquitoes. But who knows, I'm not a grass-ologist.

You dislike mosquitos all you want. Some species rely on them. There's always something. They exist for a reason.

Alternatively you can just install screen doors, wear long sleeves, and use mosquito repellent.

They exist because they reproduce faster than they die. The fact that they are necessary for some other species is irrelavant to their existance. Such a claim only really makes sense for plants and animals that people farm.
