Then there’s yellow fever, dengue, and West Nile, not to say Zika, a tropical-zone additionally-ran, until it began to be related to horrific birth defects. Scientists suspect that, on balance, mosquitoes don’t contribute a lot of anything to the ecosystem, aside from fending off humans from despoiling rain forests. They aren’t even particularly important to the weight-reduction plan of many of the predators that eat them. And so, as we reach new heights of mosquito fear, we’ve devised ever-extra-advanced ways to kill them.

In mid-July, Google’s sister company Verily Life Sciences started unleashing 20 million sterile male mosquitoes into the Fresno County insect dating pool. Which is to say, the human conflict on mosquitoes is excessive-tech, high-concept, and without pity. So why not use anti-missile laser technology towards them too?

There is the laser itself, aimed by a mirror that's synced to a camera that identifies the pest marked for loss of life based on its form and size and the distinctive beat of its wing, and a monitor that enables you to observe its autonomous targeting.
