MOSQUITO

Am the singing maestro of all living species
A genus Insecta of the Animalia anopheles.

Humans consider me a mean pest and an aggravating nuisance,
They applaud not for delight but to crush me at any given chance.

Breeding in phytotelmata as a dangerous disease vector,
In the polytechnic of insects am the whining rector.
Finding prey through chemical, visual and heat sensors.

Infamous for blood-sucking through skin piercing
The immediate reaction, results in severe itching
Consequently, the parasitic disease malaria is what am transmitting.

My breeding habitat thrives effectively on water that is stagnant
I have no comrades, my worst enemies are insecticides and repellent.

Before quinine, because of me, the white man's grave was Africa
I occur in all regions of the world except for Antarctica.
