Invasion of the Giant Mosquitos!

I've been seeing these HUGE bugs gathering around the front porch light lately. They're about 2 inches long and look like giant mosquitos. Scary to say the least.

I found out today they're actually the harmless crane fly. They don't bite or sting or suck blood or anything. They just look creepy, like a daddy long legs.

We get 'em about 1/4 as commonly as houseflies on the east coast. They're big and scary, but just annoying. They leave a big smear when smushed. Mostly legs.
