          if the only criteria is human deaths, sure. mosquitoes on the other hand have never caused a mass extinction and they’ve definitely never caused the sheer level of cruelty and suffering we inflict daily on the animals we factory farm. there’s really no competition.

      People associate deadliness with the capability of violent behavior ending in gory results. Find a one ton mosquito, people will cry danger.
