Yep Cecil, same as a crane fly. I don't know why they are commonly called Mosquito Hawks as they don't hunt Mosquitoes (which is a common misconception). The first time I ever had one land on me I almost soiled my armor (to quote Monty Python). Apparently they eat nectar and do not feed on blood. Still they look like they could drain a Chihuahua in one feeding.
