The Great Alaskan Mosquito (State Bird).
One of the most feared species known to man.  In the summer they rule the skies in search of their prey.  No matter how hard you try to protect yourself, there is no escape from their treacherous assault.  It is believed several large children and two or three small horses have actually been carried off never to be seen again.
