This is awesome. Now I wonder if I'm similarly wrong about mosquitoes... (edit: those suckers do of course transmit, malaria and so on, but not sure about other diseases like hiv or hepatitis, haven't heard of mosquitoes as vector?)


Unfortunately not, they're considered "the world's deadliest animal"

Yeah I realized after posting that "do mosquitoes transmit?" is a silly question:)
