• A: What people often call “Mosquito-hawks” or “Mosquito-eaters” are actually (Crane Flies). Crane Flies do not prey on mosquitoes as many people believe. Crane Flies lay their eggs on the soil. After they hatch, their larvae feed on the bases of grasses. As adults, Crane Flies do not feed. They soon die after mating.
