Tiniest, deadliest creatures on Earth

If you didn't know, they are the deadliest creatures on the planet. It may seem impossible that something so tiny can be categorized as the most harmful creature on earth but with the number of diseases they spread and the deaths these little things cause, it is rightly said so.

Hard to get rid off

These nasty monsters don’t need too much to survive. Any place with standing water is good enough for them to breed. Even the most effective (as claimed in advertisements) repellents don’t seem to work on these bloodsuckers.

Can easily evade assassination techniques

If you didn't know, these tiny monsters have eyeballs that lets them see from every angle. So whenever they sense something is closer to them, they fly away.

Use us humans as snack!

The average time that a mosquito spends on snacking on us humans is four to five minutes. So, you can imagine how much blood these bloodsuckers take in each day.

They pick and choose

Did you know mosquitoes are choosy too? Yes, they are! If you are pregnant, have a type O blood or are even drinking beer, you are more likely to attract mosquitoes. Can’t believe it? Try drinking beer under a tree.

Disease causing monsters

Right from Malaria, Dengue to Yellow Fever and West Nile Virus, these mosquitoes are the reason for innumerable diseases as well as the many deaths. You hate them even more, don’t you?

Stronger than your imagination

Have you ever noticed that every time you try to slap a mosquito between your palms and found it sitting there, alive? Well, their exoskeletons are even more resilient than we thought them to be. They manage to fly away even through heavy rain when you expect them to get washed away.

Quarter Sized Mosquitoes Also Exist

So, did you think only teeny tiny mosquitoes are creating havoc in our planet? Well, no, if you had no idea, they can grow into monstrous proportions by simply breeding in standing water for a really long time. Just pray to the almighty you never come across one.

Deteriorating our Economy

You would ask, how these bloodsuckers hurt our economy. Well, with the number of diseases, the country’s overall productivity suffers a major setback. Doesn't your economy suffer then?

The World would be a better place with all of them dead

If I am not wrong, every time you get stung by a mosquito, this thought crosses your mind. Wouldn't it be nice if all of them were transported to a different planet or died in an epidemic? You wish!
