Crane Flies, also known as Mosquito Hawks, can grow to be 2 inches long. Due to their resemblance, they are often mistaken for being Mosquitoes. On the contrary, they are not. Crane Flies are often mistaken for being bigger Mosquitoes, but they are actually a different species. They do not feed upon people either. In fact, they don’t eat at all once they become adults.
