Throughout North America, in the United States and Canada there are mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and deserts, all of which are home to some of the most dangerous animals ranging from insects to large predator species. Here are the Top 10 Most Dangerous Animal found throughout North America. 10. The Deer Tick This succubus insect may be small, and often hidden in plain sight, the Deer Tick is one of the most dangerous insects found in this region of the world.

On the last Sunday of August in South Carolina death came quickly, and in unbelievable numbers to the Honey Bee population in Dorchester County, SC . The bees fled their colonies leaving behind clumps of dead bees at hive entrances, and became littered across the farms they were raised on. What could caused such destruction and chaos? Something not so mysterious it turns out, ACUTE PESTICIDE POISONING. At Flowertown Bee Farm and Supply located in Summerville, SC reported 46 hives died on the spot, totaling about 2.5 MILLION bees. A scientist from Clemson University collected soil samples from Flowertown on Tuesday morning to investigate the cause of death, although it was clear to the bee farmers what had happened to their bees. The bees had been poisoned by Dorchester's insecticide efforts, causalities in the war against disease-carrying Mosquitoes . On Sunday morning, parts of Dorchester were sprayed NALED, a commonly used insecticide that is known to kill mosquitoes on
