Aside from being food for birds, bats, frogs etc., they also are pollinators. Not all mosquito species (which there are many of) bite. And from the ones that bite, only the females do so. Which means that floral nectar is a fundamental food source for them and in the process of searching for it, they pollinate many flowers.
