Giant Mosquito on Native Mountain Mint

Does anyone know the purpose, function, life of these really big non-biting mosquitoes?

Growing up in New Orleans people said they ate the smaller biting mosquitoes and were good to have around, so no one ever killed them. But as an adult I am not so sure this is really what they do. People in North Carolina have told me that they lay eggs to make the smaller ones!??!
So which is it? Or neither?
