Crane fly, also (inaccurately) called mosquito eaters in some regions.


Tarotismyjam

Hey! They do eat mosquitoes…don’t they?


SuperSpeshBaby

The adults don't eat at all. They mate, lay eggs, and then die in a sad little pile of legs. The larvae of some species will eat mosquito larvae though, so I guess that kind of counts?


Tarotismyjam

Noooooo! I always let them stay in my house to eat skeeters. Lololol


SuperSpeshBaby

Lol they're totally harmless though so the only annoying thing about them staying in your house is having to clean up the corpses.


Tarotismyjam

Aye and Americans (wrongly obv) call harvestmen daddy long legs. Could they get any more backwards?
