Karma is much more encompassing than whatever our own interaction with the world might imply. Killing the mosquito or the ant is related to the karma of the mosquito and the ant as well.
Basically, so long as one does not have a reverence for all life in all its forms, there will be a lingering karma which builds up to a climax where the divinity inherent in all of life becomes glaringly apparent. At that time, one repents and transforms.
Karma is not so concerned with what we do, as it is with what we ARE. We change the world not by what we do, but by what we have become. Right action follows from Being (be the change). Once we are transformed (either via alignment with karma, or by taking a karmic beating in order to learn whatever lesson), then we have transcended the karma which is associated with whatever level of consciousness we were previously dwelling at.
Once one has a reverence for all of life, there is no consequence to the elimination of the mosquito, for it is understood that its life cannot be extinguished. All action follows from a willingness to facillitate the spiritual evolution of others (such action is the consequence of one's essence, not of one's intention, as the personal will by this stage would have been surrendered).
