Mosquitos have never been so mortified.

humans too.
i think if you attribute car killings to humans they beat mosquitos by a decent margin.

Maybe? Cars in the US kill like 40,000 people a year; mosquitoes kill like 725,000 people a year

Yeah but 1.35 million die globally from car crashes, far more than mosquitoes kill.

Interesting. That was more than I expected when looking at like China/India/US

That looks like the official number, though. I thought mosquito deaths were being underestimated
