You would think that they eat mosquitos but studies show the don't. They eat bugs that live in the leaf litter on the ground. The state coqui-frog site talks about putting a pheremone attractant for fruit flies near the PVC T traps for the frogs so I guess they would be attracted to and eat fruit flies but unfortunately they don't make much of a dent in the mosquito population. Maybe it is a prey density thing. Fruit flies swarming a pheremone attractant may be low and slow enough to be worth going after.
