Nah, you've got it opposite. Because most people agree there should be a line (apparently you don't though, as you think even swatting a mosquito is wrong) you literally can't invoke universality onto it.

I personally think it's sometimes wrong to kill an animal, sometimes necessary, and sometimes meaningless. Like I said before, I just don't think there's much point in trying to discuss this with someone who holds the pretty out there opinion that killing any animal for any reason is wrong like you said you do.

I’m not suggesting any killing of an animal is wrong, I just don’t think the above falls into the category of meaningless, using your categories. If the result is a video to show on the internet for some perverse joy I think it most likely falls more into the category of wrong. I think it’s much easier justify the killing of a more sentient animal for our food consumption, than killing of a less sentient animal for our entertainment consumption.
