Mosquito Hawks are actually called Crane Flies, and contrary to their name, do not feed on mosquito's. Adult Mosquito Hawks do not feed at all.
Their larvae stage feeds on nectar, which is enough food to last it through its adult stage and eventual death.

∙ 10y agoMosquito hawks do not eat mosquitos. Crane flies come by the name mosquito hawk due to their great resemblance to mosquitoes. To the untrained eye, the only way to tell the difference is size, as crane flies are usually more than twice the size of the average mosquito.
Although it is rumored that mosquito hawks eat mosquitoes, that is not the case with crane flies. Crane flies do not bite people either, but prefer to feed on the roots of a variety of grasses.
