As Naryar mentioned (two pages ago) and as I forgot, we have planttick mouths already, which are pretty close to mosquito probiscuses. We have Dragonfly wings, insect eyes, insect legs, and an ant carapice, so we could make something pretty close to a mosquito. Here is the organism I propose we use instead of the mosquito.
-Insect eyes (Allows you to see)
-Insect stomach (Can turn biomass in energy)
-Ant carapace (+1 to defense)
-Dragonfly wings(probably need to be downsized to fit mosquito-sized organism.)
-Planttick mouth(allows you to suck nutrients and energy out of plants)(DNA modification ability should be used to adapt this mouth to being able to pierce animals aswell.)
-Ant pheromones(necessary for the swarm to communicate with us and for us to communicate with the swarm.)
This is a simpler organism than the antfish, so it should cost less to produce. List of actions:
-Instantly produce one of these Ant-Mosquitos to see if the design works out all right, and if it does lay 500 eggs that are to mature into Ant-Mosquitos along the shore line.( Since the Ant-Mosquitos are not designed for use in water, the eggs have to be laid on the shore line.)
-We can't leave the eggs defenseless, therefore we should grow some basic legs and stand out on the shore line and defend the eggs.
Oh and I aggree with Rez some flying plant eating insects would be nice. For that task we should just use the schematics for the Ant-Mosquitos minus the modification to the Planttick mouth. List of actions:
-Lay 500 eggs that are to grow into Flying Ants on the other side of the shore line from the 500 eggs designed to mature into Ant-Mosquitos (aka they re to be on opposite sides of the lake.)
-Have the other Insecticarp guard these eggs.
-Have the other Insecticarp grow legs aswell, to faciliate it's guarding the eggs.
Other actions not directly related to plans for Plant-Eating-Flying-Ants and Ant-Mosquitos and contingency plans:
-Send Antfish out to attack large fish using their poison attack, as a group (AKA all 460 of 'em). Use what the Antfish bring back to fuel these changes and actions.
-Also use the second Insecticarp's nutrients to fuel all this.
-And again, make sure to have both Insecticarps eat the eel, and use it's biomass and nutrients to fuel the actions.
-If the instant birth of the Ant-Mosquito succedds, then laying 500 Ant-Mosquito eggs is to take priority over 500 Flying Ant eggs.
-If the instant birth of the Ant-Mosquito fails due to a flaw in the design of the organism(caused by a bad roll on our DNA modification ability, which I think is unlikley as this is a pretty simple modification.), then just lay the Flying ant eggs and have the other Insecticarp hunt with the antfish.
You spend some time looking through the gathered Dna fragments, but find nothing of use (You should really stop rolling 1's). So you decided to take things in your own hands.
And start to develop some Ant mosquito's. Mutation of the planttick mouth goes well, and the rest of the development goes fluently though. Sadly due to their small size they will have to stay toghether, as they tend to get lost and die on their own. They are simply to small to support even a small intelligence on your own.
You contemplate growing legs for a while, but decide against it for the moment. After all, you would be rather visible, and even if you were to go unnoticed the transformation wouldn't be complete before the eggs had hatched. The antfish and carp hunt, and manage to bring in a rather large amount of food.
