Friday Fact: The Crane Fly is not a giant mosquito.
It does not eat mosquitoes.
It does not bite, sting or spread diseases.
It does not damage plants or crops.
So, crane flies are not natural predators of mosquitoes and do not contribute to controlling mosquito populations. Their larvae can sometimes be problematic in large numbers, particularly in lawns and gardens, but other than that, this guy is pretty harmless.
