I don’t feel bad about killing a mosquito, because I don’t believe mosquitos are moral patients, nor do I believe that an individual mosquito is at all important to the overall functioning of environmental systems.
I never meant to imply that environmental systems have moral value, but I think they definitely have instrumental value, and they might also have some aesthetic value.
