Mosquitoes are the most dangerous and deadly creatures in the world, especially the female mosquitoes. The females have the most deadly bite in the world, killing more than 2.7 million people a year.
3.) Scorpion
Scorpions are deadly venomous animals. Not as deadly as mosquitoes, but Scorpions kill more than 1,000 people a year from venom. So watch out with those pants before wearing them.

Male Giant Water Bugs are among the most loving and caring fathers in the animal kingdom. The males carry 700 young on their backs.
