    The Crane Fly also gets called a Mosquito Hawk:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly

    In colloquial speech, crane flies are known as mosquito hawks or “skeeter-eaters”, though they do not actually prey on adult mosquitos or other insects.[7][8] They are also sometimes called “daddy longlegs”, a name which is also used for arachnids of the family Pholcidae and the order Opiliones. The larvae of crane flies are known commonly as leatherjackets.[7]

      Sure, if you’re a stupid idiot.

      (Adult crane flies don’t eat. They don’t even have mouths.)

            I was hoping there’d be a filter in the type of people (because Lemmy requires some intelligence and a preference away from mainstream systems). I was incorrect.

            Lacking obnoxiousness is apparently not a collorary.
