A Mosquito

Most skeeter bites just make you itch. But some mosquitoes carry and transfer malaria causing parasites. As a result, these little pests are responsible for the deaths of more than two million people a year.

We are, specifically the subspecies "American". They are the dominant hairless ape on the planet.

That's kind of stupid. Take the amount of people mosquitos kill per year and divide it by the amount of mosquitoes in existence. Then compare that ratio to the ratios for the other animals on that list.
