They are commonly called "Daddy long legs" in the UK. Unlike their relative, the fiendish mosquito, the crane fly is harmless. They are sort of slow, clumsy fliers and I find them quite likeable in a way.

This poor misunderstood beauty is a crane fly (family Tipulidae), not a mosquito (note that it doesn't have any mouthparts)! D:>
Very nice shot, though!

I never knew what a mosquito looked like up close. That's really interesting. They still suck (literally), but they're cooler looking than I thought they would be. It almost looks fake. Very interesting.

Well this one is not that tiny, annoying creature, this one is a little bigger with very long legs :> but they look almost alike

Oh, now I know what you're talking about. I like the bigger ones because they don't bite. It's a really neat shot.
