Well, in the first place the mosquitoes were not invited on to the ark: they just happened to be hanging around as the water level rose, and there were 11 of them, not two. They stayed below decks, biting the two goats, the two lemurs, the two sheep, the two rabbits, the two bison, the two cattle, the two onyxs, the two ponies, the two. . . well you can fill in the rest. They never had any reason to go above deck to bite Noah or his family. Hence, no swatting.

Why pick on the little guys? All animals have purposes in the ecosystem. Mosquitoes and ticks have unique characteristics that are proving to be useful in genetics. Yes some claim them to be among some of the most dangerous creatures on earth. Some also argue that distinction goes to humans. You could also ask why did God save the spouses of Noah's children. As disruptive and annoying as mosquitoes are, they are still creatures on this Earth.
PS: The joke goes that they weren't on the list. They were stowaways. Further proof that they are the most devious creatures to grace the earth.

because the chicken wanted to get on the other side to see how fast the 2 mosquito's that Moses swatted could fly.Possibly in Arkansas their motives would not be questioned.

They exist to show us that life isn't always beautiful and that without God's mercy life would be so terribly cruel. If God wanted this life to be a utopia he would make it so, but instead he wants us to reveal our inner spirit and inner intentions through the struggles and injustice we endure.

Make more. Reproduce to teach them how grow it self. That could distract us from our goals in life. God way. Heaven/Evil If we face the problem that us human feel pain. So who like to feel that from the bites.

so as not to break the food chain. Certain birds live almost exclusively on flying insects.
