Mosquitos Vs Fireflys

Do fire flys/lighting bugs eat Mosquitos? I ask because during the day here we are over run with the little blood suckers no bug sprays seem to work not 100% deet, repel, thermacell, dryer sheet trick nothing at all I think it's because they are army engineered skeeters to be impervious to all bug repellents just to annoy us.

Anyways back to the question. At night this place lights up like you would not believe with fire flys. Now I'm born and raised in the sticks I'm used to ire flys and and catching them in jars and all that fun stuff but this is the most fire flys it have ever seen gotta be thousands and thousands of them. Now when the fire flys show up all the Mosquitos like disappear none to be found it's a nice break.

I know dragon flys eat the little scoundrels but do fire flys also?

I don't believe they do. Google says they eat nectar. They are probably hiding from the bats.

Hmmm haven't seen any bats but it's pretty thick woods where I'm set up.
