Daddy long Legs

Crane flies are a type of fly in the family Tipulidae. They are insects. Crane flies look similar to large mosquitoes. Unlike mosquitoes, crane flies do not bite people or animals. There are about 4,000 different kinds or species of crane flies. Adult crane flies have very long legs and a long, thin abdomen. It is very easy to accidentally break off their delicate legs when catching crane flies. Their thin legs and abdomen may help them to escape from birds who try to eat them. Females have larger abdomens in comparison to the males. The female abdomen also ends in a pointed ovipositor that looks a bit like a stinger. Crane flies cannot sting.
The wings are often held out from the body when the crane fly is not moving. When the wings are held out, the large halteres (balancers) can be seen behind the wings. Unlike mosquitoes, crane flies can not fly well. They will sometimes "wobble" when flying.
