Reply to comment by jesusallin666 in Are some North American bat species more likely to reside in man-made structures than others, or is the choice of habitat typically consistent across all bat species? by OrganicDroid
My understanding is bats don't actively hunt mosquitoes, as it takes more energy than they recoup. They will eat them out of opportunity, of course, but they go after slightly larger bugs.

This is true for all but the smallest of bats and it's part of the reason why eradicating mosquitoes in urban areas would generally speaking cause no environmental harm.
