One of the most dangerous animals on earth are mosquitoes. They surely are small and really easy to kill, however they actually manage to kill over 1 million people a year. How do they do that?

There's an insect that is really similair to mosquitoes, and it's called tipulidae, however it's 2 or 3 times bigger than mosquitoes, but it's not dangerous and it doesn't sting. The smaller mosquito species weight around 2,5 mg, but the bigger ones can reach 10 mg. A moquito usually flies under the height of 10 meters, but some species were found in osme trees at the height of 15 meters. A moquito can live only for 12 days, but some species can also live up to 132 days. It depends on the temperature. Moquitoes.
