Contender 1: Mosquito

The Mosquito is a small, flying insect that is known for its itchy bites. They have long, thin legs and a slender body with two wings. Mosquitoes are found all over the world and are known to carry diseases such as malaria and Zika virus. They are attracted to humans and animals by the carbon dioxide we exhale and the scent of our sweat.
