A mosquito’s purpose is to ruin BBQs, hikes, and all out door activities during summer.
Seriously, thought: Usually in biology we don’t think of animals as having a ‘higher’ purpose. Some things just “are” without a plan or good reason. So I would say a mosquito’s purpose is to eat blood and have baby mosquitoes. Which they are good at.

Their purpose is to get blood. They feed on blood, just like us feed on cheeseburger/coke/piza.
Mosquito bother all sorts of animals. But they never meant to make you feel uncomfortable. You feel itchy because your body react in that way to protect you.

Hey Matilda!
Mosquitoes just like to bother you for your blood. They eat blood like we eat chicken and salad. The more blood they get the more babies they can have which makes more mosquitoes. Their entire life goal is to make more mosquitoes so they drink as much blood as they can to grow up and make more babies that will drink more blood!

Hi Matilda, mosquitoes are here to continue their life cycles. Also they are important components of the food chains. There is a fish called mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) whose food source is the mosquito larvae.

I grew up in Alaska and the mosquitoes are SO BAD there! We joke and call them the state bird. When people have a lot of killed mosquitoes on their wall, we called in Alaskan wallpaper. Are you asking because you get bit a lot by them and they bother you? Research shows that there are things in your genetics (like blood type) and things you have control over (like exercise) that make mosquitoes more or less likely to bite you! Interesting huh?
