As much as I hate mosquitoes, I must admit that without them, entire ecological systems would collapse…

Are we sure about that though? There are a lot of other small insects that fill the same niche without biting humans (including other mosquito species).

I remember people used to complain, “what about the bats?” until we found that mosquitos make up at most 2% of a bat’s diet.
