Mosquito hawks don’t eat mosquitos or larvae or do anything against mosquitos.

It always seemed odd since they fly like they’re drunk but I figured mosquitos aren’t much stronger fliers so maybe they’re just ‘good enough’ to catch mosquitos. Nope- it’s just a dumb name for a crane fly. I always gave them room even when they bothered me because I figured they’re doing good work eating the enemy, but now I know they’re not allies I swat them like any other pest.
