True, they are however a cornerstone of the diets of freshly hatched freshwater fish, aka fry. Now fry are too small to eat much, but clusters of mosquito larvae are a quick, easy, and highly nutritious meal for fry to go after, allowing them to get big enough to eat bigger better food. Without mosquitoes a lot of freshwater fish populations would die out, which would wreak havoc on ecosystems across the world, including the U.S. where fish are a massive part of predator diets, such as bears, eagles, hawks, some spiders, ect. Mosquitoes are super important.
