A big one

This interloper was in my upstairs hallway this morning. It was about 4 inches big. It is a crane fly and they also known as mosquito hawks or "skeeter-eaters", though they do not actually prey on adult mosquitos or other insects.They are also sometimes called "daddy longlegs",

"I've never heard those called daddy longlegs, but I do wish they'd be actual skeeter-eaters," she says while scratching a crazy making mosquito bite.

Good shot, though I don't like it when they come in my house.
