Mosquito hawk - dragon fly
Dragon flies are commonly referred to as mosquito hawks. This may be due to the species habit of killing mosquitoes. An adult dragonfly can eat hundreds of mosquitoes a day, as well as consuming a variety of flies and other insects. Due to their keen sense of vision, dragonflies are often able to catch their prey in mid flight and will consume them without landing. Nymphs, or immature dragonflies will also eat mosquito larvae. Dragon flies tend to populate the same areas as mosquitoes as both prefer wet swampy environments.

Mosquito hawk - crane fly
Also commonly referred to as mosquito hawks, crane flies resemble very large mosquitoes. Although it is rumored that mosquito hawks eat mosquitoes, that is not the case with crane flies. Crane flies do not bite people either, but prefer to feed on the roots of a variety of grasses.

Well that explanes why when I was a kid, I would fill a jar with mosquitos for them to eat... And here I just thought they weren't eating because they didn't like being watched...

Maybe scare 'em to death, but they don't eat them.

I think what it is, is that their larvae eat mosquito larvae. Or something.
