Mosquito
by Richard Swift

Fever, the Panama Canal, poetry and Roman emperors.... All are linked by the mosquito, the pesky night time bomber that buzzes its way into everyone’s life. For some its bite brings deadly disease, for others it is a work of art. Certainly it is the ultimate survivor; all attempts to wipe it out have failed, and its 2,500 species have invaded not only bodies, but cultures too. As the Dalai Lama says “if you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito”.
