Between your corys and your loaches I don't think you will have a problem with them falling into the gravel and growing up. Also mosquito larvae have a form in between larvae and adult called the pupa stage and when they enter this stage they usually head towards the top so they will be eaten. You could scoop them out of the pond using a plastic cup and then getting a spare net to fish them out of the cup. I've never tried this before so there may be more experienced people that can tell you another way to harvest them.

EDIT:
hmmm do they look like anything on this list?
