minus-squareAltolinkfedilink29•9 months agoProbably because of just how much death they directly cause
minus-squareuphillbothwayslinkfedilink-21•edit-29 months agoMosquitoes don’t directly cause death, though. They are susceptible to diseases. They pass those diseases on. Those diseases cause death. Bees cause more direct deaths due to anaphylactic shock from allergies to apitoxin. Mosquitoes just catch all the blame.
