Mosquitoes don't have the reputation for harming food. They pass along diseases through their bite and do not feed from food on a plate. Mosquitoes could land in a beverage thinking it a good spot to lay eggs, but they are not there to feed- - though I'd probably replace my beverage if a mosquito landed in it. Flies (like the ordinary housefly or bottle flies) will feed off of dung then carry microbes to your food.
