It's a crane fly. It eats mosquitoes and it's totally harmless, even though it looks like it wants to lay its eggs on your brain.

Even though they are completely harmless, they look like a giant fucking mosquito and it freaks me out. I kill them because, hey, they only live, like, a day anyway.

COMMON MISCONCEPTION!!!!

From Wikipedia:
Despite their common names, crane flies do not prey on mosquitoes as adults, nor do they bite humans. Some larval crane flies may on occasion feed on mosquito larvae.[1] Adult crane flies feed on nectar or they do not feed at all; most crane fly species live only to mate and die once they become adults. Their larvae, called "leatherjackets" or "leatherjacket slugs" because of the way they move, consume roots (such as those of turf grass in backyard lawns) and other vegetation, in some cases causing damage to plants. Therefore the crane fly is occasionally considered a mild turf pest in some areas.

I'd like to know how it does that when most of them don't have any goddamn mouthparts.

I hate these things when they sneak in through the front door. They have a love of flying down into your face with the ends of their legs tickling your neck and eye lids. Getting them back outside usually isn't too difficult but it's the worst when they get into your room while you're sleeping.

These bugs are one of my favorites. All of the ones I've seen aren't very fast, nor are they scared of humans.
When I was in middle school, I used to grab them by the legs and throw them into crowded hallways. Shit's hilarious.
