When we were young, we learnt that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest ones. Mosquitoes are small insects which kill a lot of people every year. Female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They need this blood to live and produce eggs. It can carry diseases from one person to another very easily. Malaria and yellow fever are diseases carried by mosquitoes.

Many scientists are working to find ways to kill mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds and some fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where they live might help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural way, but it doesn't always work very well.
