dsoz Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yes, mosquito hawk or more correctly called "crane fly" (they don't eat mosquitos). That long "stinger" is the ovipositor that is used to lay eggs in your lawn. It causes large round circles of dead grass that seem to come out of nowhere. dsoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
