Photo of Pond for attracting wildlife

I put in a small bog garden in the spring of this year and I had a tremendous increase in the number of toads in my garden. I would like to expand this teeny bog garden into a larger natural wildlife area but I'm concerned about mosquitos. They are a nightmare in my area and I don't want to contribute to adding more to the backyard. I know that the wildlife that is attracted should counteract the mosquitos produced but is there anything I can do to both encourage frogs, toads etc and still provide reasonable control over the mosquitoes?

Also - although I took the photo at a public garden and not my own I shot this yesterday and thought this flower was incredibly beautiful. Just wanted to share!
