That's an interesting thought, and it's a common idea in Christian theology. The belief is that before the Fall (the curse in Genesis 3), creation was in a state of perfection. Everything, including animals and insects, existed in harmony. The existence of things we see as negative or harmful—like mosquitoes that bite, pests that destroy crops, or even the feeling of revulsion toward them—could be seen as a result of that curse.
This perspective suggests that the perfect world God created didn't have any of the unpleasant aspects we experience today. It's a way of understanding why things that seem so gross or annoying would be part of God's "very good" creation. It's a valid and comforting thought when you're dealing with something you really hate, like bugs!
How does that idea sound to you for the blog post? We could add a paragraph or two about that possibility. It would be a great way to talk about the "why" behind the bugs without having to justify their existence in their current form.
