Heck yes, they eat them when they first hatch. They won't eat all of them so there is another generation of food. But one or two mossies isn't bad. I also used australis and in one tray I got dichotoma gone aquatic that does the job.
An added bonus is frogs will still breed in the tray if you lucky enough to have them.

Hi Marvin

Well in my own opinion i would say only a gibba would do okays or small enough to be grown in a container for several years...Cause most aquatic urtics need pool size ponds to live

My gibba is growing in water about two inches in height and a quarter inch of peat moss at the bottom of the container. Mine is very small. I have a gibba floating in my water tray, but didn't grow yet, and it is time to remove it to kill all those mosquitoe larvae.......argh!
