imagine if you could remove bugs from existence and anything that relies on them for food or reproduction such as birds and plants develops alternatives for it.

what a nice place earth would be

Bugs are bioengineering masterpieces.

The most recent Zefrank video is a great example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spuO7OpS6zw

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

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.

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.

white people do be invasive, she could've said "me if bugs didn't crawl on me" or something like that, but no, straight up aiming for the nonexistence of an important family of animals
