Mosquitoes have their place in the food chain, just like all other animals. Without them, many insect eating animals would have less food available to them. Without those insect eating animals, other animals up the food chain would die...and on and on.

Of course, you could look at mosquitoes as one of the world's great disease spreaders. Nothing like West Nile Fever!

So with all their bad characteristics, do mosquitoes have any good qualities? Why, yes! They are a major food source for lots of critters. Mosquito larvae are food for fish and other meat-eating creatures that hang out in water. And when the adult mosquitoes emerge from the water, they are food for bats, birds, dragonflies, spiders and anything else that can catch them and also happen to eat meat. One of the reasons many birds migrate to the north each year to breed is because of the plentiful supply of bugs, including mosquitoes, that they can feed to their young.

Ah, mosquitoes! Well, they are food for frogs, toads, birds and bats and some plants.
Another purpose of the pests is to make people appreciate winter (or the absence of mosquitoes).

mosquitoes are on this planet to give us a channel for our need to hate something intensly enough to kill it without a thought.

They only bite the people who have done something wrong. So, they help those of us who are perfect to weed you out.

we of the mosquito guild resent that question. Our 'purpose' is the same as yours, dude, grow up, have kids, enjoy life and die. How dare you ask. Whi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ne, whi-i-i-i-i-i-ine, etc, etc.
