No, they don't. What probably happens is your plants are absorbing the rain water, you don't have puddles nearby and the mosquito have no place to lay their larvae.

Actually, I have over 20 tomato plants, and the mosquitos were biting me on my legs while I was harvesting the fruits.

I get eaten alive in the garden whether I'm near the tomato plants or not.
So I vote no.

I wish! I get eaten every time I go out to my garden! Just be happy that yours are sucking up all that water and using it give you tomatoes instead of bites!
