mosquito hawk
A mosquito hawk is a common name for several winged insects, including dragonflies, damselflies, and crane flies. The term usually refers to larger species which typically feed on mosquitoes and other insects. The name is slightly misleading, as not all insects referred to as mosquito hawks predominantly feed on mosquitoes. In particular, crane flies, which are often referred to as mosquito hawks, are typically not predators and do not eat mosquitoes. The term is primarily used in North America.
