Do Crane Flies Bite
2016-11-09 21:35:52 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Despite their common names, crane flies do not prey on mosquitoes, nor do they bite humans. Adult crane flies feed on nectar or not at all; most crane fly species live only to mate and die once they become adults. Their larvae, called leatherjackets or 'leatherjacket slugs' because of the way they move, consume roots (such as those of turf grass in backyard lawns) and other vegetation, in some cases causing damage to plants. Therefore the crane fly is occasionally considered a mild turf pest in some areas. Some leatherjackets are aquatic.

Oh yes they do, Crane Flys although thin and fairly harmless looking have larger fangs that a great white shark if scaled up, a two hundred pound crane fly could bite a horse in too, luckily there only really little so a quick flick with the finger usually knocks a wing of shatters their internal organs and makes several of there eyes pop out, so use the force and flick one today for tomorrow it may bite you

This is the time of year when they emerge from the early form when the eggs were laid. They will mate and lay more eggs and usually in lawns which they seem to prefer. The can do considerable damage to lawns because the grubs eat away at the grass roots.

No. Crane flys are good, too - they eat mosquitos!
