Amphibians are certainly affected by DDT and have been known to munch on mosquito larvae as well as adults. Not only that but heavy use of DDT would also speed up the DDT resistance of skeeters.

DDT does not harm invertebrates.
There are no studies showing resistance to DDT.
It IS a wonder pesticide.
Saying it ain't so does not mean it ain't so.
