Not much surprised with mosquitoes taking the top spot, smallest yet deadliest.

I wished there was a way to eradicate them off the planet even though I know they serve their own purpose in the grand scheme of things :)

I hear you about mosquitoes. I've often wondered about fireants too. What purpose they actually have.

Humans are hard at working to take the #1 spot!
