An Insect Riddle For You

What is the deadliest insect on the planet?
Wood tick? 
No
Praying mantis?
If you mate with her.
Wolf spider?
Tsetse fly?
Nah.
The Tsetse fly only kills ten thousand people a year.
Raise your glass if you said mosquito.
She kills millions of people every year.

Yes I do try to throw in a bit of knowledge - I have a slew of children's facts books and I am not afraid to use them.
