Just What Is a Mosquito Eater?

I had heard the term mosquito eater before and recently heard that they only live three days. A Google search brought back mostly devices for capturing mosquitoes. Turns out that my information was partially correct. The adults only live a few days. So just what are mosquito eaters? They're flies, specifically the crane fly. Kudos to the blog to end all blogs for giving me the name.

Go here, I found out all kinds of things on here. If you cant find what you are looking for, try a google search on "Mosquito Hawk" or "Crane Fly"

I looked it up and what I have called "Mosquito Eaters" for years seem to actually be "Crane Flys"
