Well, I think that it is dependent on the system that you are talking about. But in many respects just because a creatures exists within an ecosystem, I would not definately say it had a usefulness. So long as it has predators that keep it in check (and therefore it actually fits the system it lives within; balance) it can and does just act as a parasite. It is not useful (in that if it were not there, its resources would be used by another insect that would fill its place) because often its removal from the system does not unbalance anything.

A little known fact is that mosquito's are responsible for more hurricanes then any other insect. In the Amazon rain forest the
number of mosquito's living there has been estimated at 50 trillion.
The beating of their wings creates air currents that move north to the Caribbean and Atlantic ocean creating pressure differentials responsible for over half of the hurricanes that develop there.

The most common use that most people are already aware of is that lots of harmful organisms (probably many benign as well) use mosquitoes as hosts to complete their life cycles.
