So if I steal food from you every day and some of my friends want to kill you, and I say "no, don't kill him, I need him so I can steal food", you should give me food every day as thanks?

Well in order for this comparison to work, you'd be programmed on a deep level to take from him in order to sustain your own life. Your choice of the word 'steal' implies that the mosquito understands the morality of theft but just doesn't care.

Then again I tend to read way too far into things, my bad.
