Wiki says the idea has been suggested in earnest as one of the forms a mosquito laser could take, and was rejected in favor of a better one.
I don’t think there is any quadcopter that can fly for more than 30 minutes on one battery charge—and that’s without mosquito recognition and zapping systems drawing on that same battery.
Also, having quadcopters flying around zapping insects is at least going to be visually distracting.
Not to mention, the leading cause of propeller-induced face laceration syndrome...
Right, this sort of thing is only practical given fully automated battery replacement.
