It depends on the species. Most female mosquito prey on blood, including humans, while the male feeds on pollen and nectar. But some species of mosquito are carnivorous. Their larvae in fact prey on other mosquito larvae.

Why didnt Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Mosquito eggs are needed to feed crayfish, dragonflies and frogs. Flying mosquitoes are food for frogs, bats and birds, especially purple martins. In the bigger scheme of things, mosquitoes help keep ecosystems balanced by transmitting diseases. Diseased animals are easier for carnivores to capture and disease keeps the numbers of certain animals from getting too large for the food supply. That seems kind of cold, but that is the way it is. They probably are not too concerned with their usefulness to humans!

Are mosquitoes a herbivore or a omnivore?

Mosquitoes suck blood, and blood isn't a plant, which doesn't classify them as an herbivore. Mosquitoes do not eat meat, because blood isn't meat, so they aren't carnivores. Since mosquitoes only suck blood, and do not eat a combination of both meat and plants, they are not omnivores either. Since a mosquito eats different kinds of food at different life stages (like at the larval stage, they eat microorganisms, and at a different stage, they eat plant nectar, and so forth), it is safe to consider the mosquito an omnivore, which fits the category the best.
