Seeing more crane flies? Arizona Pest Control company says they are 'completely harmless'

Lately, there has been a large number of crane flies hanging around.

But despite their gnarly appearance, similar to giant mosquitoes, Arizona Pest Control says crane flies pose no threat to humans. "Completely harmless," says Joshua Tennenbaum, operations director for Arizona Pest Control."They don't bite. They don't have the right mouth parts for that."Tennenbaum says if you see crane flies in your home, don't kill them; these pests serve an important role in the local environment.

"They eat dead and decaying matter," Tennenbaum explained."They're actually pretty vital to the ecosystem and the way the nature decomposes." If crane flies do get indoors, simply open a door or window and shoo them outside. Most importantly, Tennenbaum says, leave them alone — they're just doing their jobs.

They didn't show up last night -- so I suspect my cat will stop batting the window every evening

If they end up in my house, they dead, natural selection homie

NOW FLIES ARE GOING TO KILL US?!! What's NEXT?!!

They are skeeter eaters leave em alone

I call them mosquito hawks. They kill mosquitos is what I've been told

Fk them!

They're harmless, they only live a few days.

They’re actually nano drones used to spy on us and ultimately replacing the power line charged pigeons

My dachshund likes to chase them down and eat them, guess they’re crunchy - she also likes to eat ants…

I literally just smacked one out of the air about 2 minutes ago 😂

These guys eat the tiny black mosquitoes so don't kill these

LadyG007 😂

I call them mosquito eaters.

Yeah I'm pretty sure these things keep bugs out.

My dog ate one last night 😩💀🤦🏿‍♂️

They are only pests to me because they fly at the window of my home and my cats keep batting the window. But yes, seeing lost of these little guys

This is like a month over due

I have 3 or 4 in my house right now. George, Jake, Linda and Vera. They are minding their own business, I mind mine. The bouncing on my face at night because of my phone screen light, definitely something we have to work out…

Was anybody seriously worried about these things? 😂

We call these 'Garys'. There are at least two Garys in my house right now. I love when they sneak up on me all clutzy and get right all up in my face

You want those they keep the real mosquitos away!

I'm from WA where they are very prevalent - they EAT mosquitos and are harmless.

EV company Lucid to lay off large part of Arizona workforce due to 'productivity improvements'Nearly a thousand Arizonans will be losing their jobs at Lucid, an electric car manufacturer, the company announced in a letter from its CEO on March 28. 'I know this is not easy as these actions create uncertainty.' If you can’t afford gas, what makes them think you can afford a $60k car? 1,300 to be exact. And a few more coming. The ego of Rawlinson and the incompetence of VP Steven David will cause the implosion of LUCID within 15 months. Right on point they let them go last week.
