Insects, role in the ecosystem.
Insects are a class of animals that represent the largest group of animals on Earth. Because of their abundance, insects come into contact with humans in many ways, both positive and negative.
Among the insects that most frequently come into contact with humans are mosquitoes. These insects are annoying because of their ability to bite and suck blood for food. In addition to annoying bites, mosquitoes can also pose a risk to human health, as they are capable of transmitting diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and West Nile virus.
