Insects can easily be called the most hated human beings on the planet, and for the most part because they are carriers of dangerous illnesses such as malaria, Lyme disease and yellow fever. One particularly relevant to a disease of the modern world is currently spreading rapidly throughout the Western hemisphere, reaching pandemic proportions.
The zika virus was first recorded in monkeys in the forests of Africa and Asia about 70 years ago, in the early 1950s was registered the first case of human infection, and for 60 years, cases were only 15 people. In 2013-14, the city, the virus has spread to the East, in the direction of Oceania and the Pacific Islands. By 2015, it has already reached Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America.
More than 1.5 million residents of Brazil have, presumably, infected with the fever, and infants with microcephaly was about 4 thousand. Blame this carrying the disease, the most hated insects known to man.
Fortunately, this is the worst thing that could bring the human insect. Many other creatures in this list are not necessarily deadly to humans. Some destroy the product, causing multimillion-dollar losses every year, while others inflict incredibly painful bites scars that do not heal for several months. And still others are going in a big pack, capable of destroying huge areas of agricultural land for a few days.

The largest locust infestation was recorded in 1875 the locusts formed a swarm on the 2900 km long and 180 km wide.
10. The mosquito Tolstonogov
