Alas no my learned friend
Mosquito (pleural)!
But I understand that they are a vicious bunch.
Care to guess what species of Mosquito?

In this case I have to argue...
As I understand it those pesky mozzies are merely the vector, it's the manky little critters they carry that are the problem. I may be wrong though. Look up those pesky hippos. I want to know now...
edit: googling backs me up with this little gem... the answer!

I like your style
Indeed the female anopheles is the vector of the bad stuff. But the critters you refer to are protozoa, typically the Plasmodium species which lead to Malaria for example, which still kills approx 1 million per year. This outguns Hippos by approx 1000 times. This is without considering lassa fever, dengue and others

I think we can both
walk away from this with our heads held high. Maybe yours should be slightly higher. My head hurts now, I'm going to go shop a kitten.
Next time my friend!
