Mosquito hawks are properly know as crane flies for future reference. They do not eat mosquitoes.

I looked that one up wondering if I have ever saw one before and I have. Just didn't know what they were called.

Where I grew up mosquito hawks were dragonflies and crane flies were, well, crane flies. Calling dragonflies and damselflies mosquito hawks makes a lot more sense because they actually eat mosquitos.


Useless bit of trivia about how to tell dragonflies from damselflies:
