This mosquito looking fly is a crane fly, limoniidea family.

Adult cranes are harmless and spend most of their time trying to make 👩‍❤️‍👨

They'll occasionally drink water or nectar 🏵️

Their larval stage is about 95% of their life 🍼

While in their larval stage they are huge decomposers of leaves, plant matter, and other Organic Matter 🐛
