Pictures are way blurry, but that appears to be a mosquito

Sorry, but that's the best that I could get with a mostly stable other hand.

Are you being serious?

That's a mosquito. They bite and drain blood. Their saliva causes itching, redness, and mild swelling in most humans.

They're also disease carriers. They carry zika, west nile, and malaria, which has killed more people in human history than all wars put together.

So yeah. Foe.
