Because God has a sick sense of humour, LOL.

Can I puke now at the thought of dancing wiggly little critters that eat about almost anything immobile that crosses their path? :cover:

Babies?
Couldn't they have been food and fertilizer while also not sucking the blood of other creatures to survive, as well as spreading diseases like malaria? Not to mention how annoying they are, buzzing in your ears as you sleep so you have to get up and try to kill them so that they don't bite you in the eye, causing your eye to severly swell to the point that you can't see. Yeah, thats happened to me.
A mosquito's Nature's method of taking tissue from the regional fauna to ultimately feed the regional flora. They're part of an intricate net of energy distribution. It's how a small herring in the middle of the Pacific can end up making forests and tundra possible in central Canada or Alaska.

Only female mosquitoes drink blood.
Plus God needed something to spread Malaria, West Nile Virus and other diseases.

Right - it was Plasmodium falciparum that was made in the image of God, not people.

God didn't. He didn't and doesn't exist.

Yes, but if god is omnipotent, he could have figured out a way to accomplish this without causing harm to the fauna. God isn't dependent on the mosquito. I'm sure he could make the wold work without them. That said, why did he put them in, knowing that they spread diseases/bite people/etc.
And even if he had to put them in - which an omnipotent omniscient creature wouldn't and an omnibenevolent person would definitely not - why would he make them carriers for diseases?

"Harm" is also relative.... to Plasmodium, there is no "harm" in Malaria. There is no "harm" to the Mosquito either.

I think what you suggest implies a fair bit about God. When you phrase things as, effectively "God needed to do ______" or "God couldn't do _____ without doing _____", you create a conflict with all those religions that say that God doesn't need anything and that God can do anything.Checks and balances, dolly. With nothing to "harm" them species would proliferate out of control and destroy the intricate mechanism that sustains the whole.
Kind if like the planet's current hominin infestation...
