They look like massive mosquitoes, but the adults do not bite, sting, or carry any form of venom or disease that is contractable by humans. They're very common in Florida as they are marshland bugs, so they'll stick around bodies of water and - like moths - lights.
Crane flies are of the oldest known groups of flies, originating from the Triassic era, about 245 million years ago. They are awful at flying, like most big - bodied, small - winged bugs are, and will constantly get stuck in screens and light caps on the outside patios and such.
They are also sometimes called Mosquito hawks, but they do not feed on Mosquitoes in the slightest.
