Mosquitoes are abundant and play a vital role in local food webs. Their eggs and larvae are food for fishes, turtles, amphibians, and other insects, and the flying adults are eaten by bats, spiders, birds, and other animals. In addition, many male mosquitoes feed on nectar and are important pollinators.
