Do mosquitos do anything useful?

I understand spiders eat flys and mosquitos, so I try to keep from killing them. Bees make flowers and honey so I save them when possible (also there dissapearing?).
But as far as I know mosqutios are grotesque little demon bugs that live off of human blood. Their bites are not only itchy but they carry diseases. How are these creatures helping the world and of what use are they to me?

  1. Male mosquitoes are nectar eaters and as such are important in pollenation, just like bees. Additionally, mosquitoes are a vital food supply for many terrestrial and aquatic species.

  3. Well, to feed the spiders, and some of the animals in the world can ONLY eat mosquitoes. It would effect the balance of life if they died. I know how ya feel, curse the mosquitoes, yeah. But they have a purpose, to feed animals.

  4. They do provide food for birds spiders etc. so they are a part of the food chain. It would be nice to know if some species of birds and spiders would have trouble surviving without mosquitos. Otherwise we could do without mosquitos.
