>called a skeeter eater >Does not actually eat mosquitoes Who started this rumor? I let hundreds of these creepy ass ugly bugs live because I was convinced they were killing mosquitoes but then I learn that is all nonsense?

>>5072988No idea but we called them that in California when I lived there.
>>5072953Well, its like a lion (ie predator) to ants.
>>5072863Likely because they look like big mosquitoes. In reality the adults usually don't even have functional mouths. The larva will eat plants though, so if you have a garden you should probably still kill them. Otherwise just let them do whatever.
I'm a board tourist, and I only see 1 other bug thread.Anyone know what's this weird mf is?
>>5075291You have summoned an entofag. This looks like a giant crane fly
>>5075291It's a skeeter eater like the op
>>5075291That's a crane fly for sure. They're harmless and they don't have mouths as adults either. They only live a few days as adults for the purposes of procreation. They're lousy fliers and I believe many species of "crane fly" are even pollinators. If you found this in your house just catch it in a cup and put it outside or crush it I don't care and neither does the crane fly it's a retarded insect - they're about as complex as the Lincoln animatronic from the 1960s. Don't worry about it too much either way because it really doesn't matter.
>>5075754>no mouth, few days lifesapn just to fuck without screaming anyone's namesad...
>>5075756You're anthropomorphizing it - it doesn't give a fuck either way. They're pretty much tiny organic animatronics. Some are more complex than others; crane flies are among the oldest and simplest. Very rudimentary.
>>5075758*Bugs are tiny organic animatronics, I mean. Forgot to specify
>>5075758>>5075759Autism speaks.
>>5075758Shut the fuck up, faggot.
>>5073315Lions aren't the only predator in the world
