If Aliens really are paying regular visits to the Earth, what species do you think they're most likely to contact or monitor?

Nematodes. They are the most abundant life form on the planet!
"If all the matter in the universe except the nematodes were swept away, our world would still be dimly recognizable, and if, as disembodied spirits, we could then investigate it, we should find its mountains, hills, vales, rivers, lakes and oceans represented by a thin film of nematodes. The location of towns would be decipherable, since for every massing of human beings there would be a corresponding massing of certain nematodes. Trees would still stand in ghostly rows representing our streets and highways. The location of the various plants and animals would still be decipherable, and, had we sufficient knowledge, in many cases even their species could be determined by an examination of their erstwhile nematode parasites."

I think they would monitor Bacteria and Virus.
Lets face it, microorganisms out number humans by billions on the face of the earth and indeed, they are our biggest threat.
They are also a species subject to much faster evolution than the rest of us so they make a good study model.
Also, from a sampling point of view, it would be easier for our alien guests to take samples of microorganisms than taking us!!!
Cool question.

Cats - any aliens monitoring earth would see that people who own cats are really servants to their cats - therefore cats would be viewed as the superior species

If they came to visit--*if*--then I would imagine they would want to know as much about Earth as possible. Since we're the most powerful species they would have to communicate with us eventually. I don't think they would chose to do this via anal probes either.

If they were the psychic, telepathic, empathic type aliens probably the whales and dolphins. My pick is the humpback.
If they were tiny aliens probably ants. Ants seem weirdly intelligent and able to communicate.

Probably whichever species they could relate to the most. If they themselves are aquatic they would probably see an aquatic creature as the dominant species. You get my drift.

Most definitely dolphins - as they have the intelligence but not the Ego - which blocks many a communication attempt.

Whales, dolphins etc.
Most of the earths' surface is water so I think they would explore it first.
Whales are intelligent and certainly large enough to be noticed!
PS - I had not seen how many of you agreed with me before responding (how strange and unusual!)

Cows!
They keep killing and dissecting them in South America!
Or maybe Ronnie McDonald is an alien!
