Not so odd an insect for me, since i see them often in the summer. The name is, though. We call them mosquito lions.
I’ve never known a name for them, but I knew they weren’t mosquitoes and that they don’t bite or cause any problems for humans.
Is a couple of them called ‘a tuppence of tipples’?
That name is new to me too, but the scientific name is Tipulidae so I assume it’s from that. I’ve mostly heard them called crane flies.

I’ve mostly heard them called crane flies.
Ah, yes, THAT I’ve heard before!
We always called them mosquito hawks.
People around me called them mayflies but they’re not actually mayflies. I think I’d heard crane fly too. Never thought they were mosquitos though. Definitely never heard them called tipples, though it’s a cute name.
crane flies is the most popular name for them in my part of texas.
