Mosquitos!
 
       The first thing that comes to your mind when hearing the word mosquito is probably the itchy annoying bite on your neck. But do you know why the mosquitos want to suck your blood? Scientists have discovered that there is another reason that mosquitos want to suck your blood.  Even though they suck your blood to get protein for their babies, the blood you have in your body also works as a cool, and refreshing drink for mosquitos. They tend to be a lot more aggressive if they are dehydrated.  Because they lay their eggs in the water, they tend to spread more diseases if the water is polluted. This is why mosquitos want to suck your blood.
