I was wondering if timothy grass , pangora grass , alfafa grass can make mosquito larvae?

That would be weird. Only mosquitos make mosquito larvae...

 

[Magnum Man]

but they can be conductive to making an environment the mosquitos want to lay eggs in... but unless done right, could make it harder to harvest them...

Any sort of non-toxic plant matter that breaks down in water can create infusoria, which encourages mosquitoes to lay eggs on that water.

It's illegal to culture mosquitoes in most countries so any containers that have mosquitoes living in, the larvae should be caught and removed so they don't turn into adults. If you have lots of mosquito larvae, you can freeze them in ice cube trays with a little bit of water, and use them to feed fish another time.

"freeze them in ice cube trays with a little bit of water, and use them to feed fish another time" , will the mosquito larvae die?

Of course.

If you make the mosquitoes out of grass, you will probably still have your magic wand. You can use it to make filtration media work without a filter, and then to reanimate dead mosquitoes. Grass has a lot of fibre which won't break in ice, so when the little grass/origami mosquitos thaw, they'll be as good as new.

Yes, the larvae will die when frozen. Then you have frozen mosquito larvae to feed the fish when live ones are not available.

I have heard that there are some species of mosquito that can breed in damp grass, even in the absence of standing water. So, maybe?
