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.

I remember when i was little and we used to go camping there was these weird bugs on the water of the lake that was there. i remember those was on creeks too when i was little.sorta like spiders called water skippers. i wonder how they walk on the water without falling in and getting wet? I remember also these bugs called lace wings there sorta like big mosquitoes too. I think some of them was green too. like a funny green mosquito :) anyways after i read you post that made me remember that stuff :) hehe.
