This is an interesting idea. One thing that might help targeting is to have some sort of chemical that attracts the mosquitoes. In that way you can bring your target to you.

Their velocity is much lower than the one of the drone, so it wouldn’t make much sense to increase efficiency

I seem to recall reading that mosquitos mainly seek out carbon dioxide...

I read this as well, and tried holding my breath (I can hold it for several minutes) while walking in the forest, and the mosquitoes still bit me.

Mosquitoes use different cues (olfactory, CO2 and infrared emissions/heat) depending on the distance to target.
