Mosquitos are actually might be the true owner of this planet. Because 100 million years ago they existed and sucked every animals starting with dinosaurs... but none of todays animals survived that long! So you make conclusion who is owning this planet, messy large animals or mosquitos???!!

Being a part of the life cycle of other creatures...food for bats, bats spread seeds, etc.
The diseases they spread also help to maintain population levels of animals by killing them off (like deer and birds)

Mosquitoes are food for birds, birds are food for smaller animals and etc etc who die and decompose into the grass which feeds the animals we get our meat from.
They're part of the food chain, if they all died off, we'd be f*cked.

That's all they do. Dragonflies, bats, and other animals eat mosquitos, so that fills some sort of purpose.

They play a vital role in our food chain. Dragonflies, lizards, frogs, and other creatures eat them. I, personally have no use for them at all.

they provide a food source for other animals inc. bats, fish, birds...and look cool when fossilized in amber.
