That leggy insect you might instinctively swat? It’s likely a crane fly, not a mosquito. Unlike mosquitoes, crane flies don’t bite or sting; they can’t even feed on blood. Despite their mosquito-like appearance, crane flies pose zero threat to humans or pets. In fact, they’re a vital part of the ecosystem, serving as food for birds, frogs, and bats, all of which play their own roles in keeping nature balanced. Let’s spread awareness and protect the little lives that keep our environment thriving. 💚 #biodiversity #insects #environment #sustainability #ecofriendly #nature #protectnature #mosquitoes #craneflies
