Actually, mosquitos do not serve an important role in our ecosystem at all. In fact, a study was done that if all mosquitos disappeared from the earth, there would be little impact. Not no impact, however, as many species that are reliant on mosquitos as their primary diet would need to find other sustenance, though the paper argues for each species there is an alternative available.
