The term "mosquito hawk" is a misnomer for crane flies, which are harmless insects often mistaken for giant mosquitoes. There is no specific phobia recognized for crane flies or "mosquito hawks" in psychological literature. However, individuals may experience entomophobia, a generalized fear of insects, which could encompass a fear of crane flies.

What is the biggest mosquito?

The largest mosquito is a species called Toxorhynchites speciosus. They grow up to one and a half inches (the females always larger than the males). They are native to Australia and do not bite people/animals and they do not drink blood. Their nickname is "Mosquito hawks", because despite being mosquitoes themselves, they eat other species of mosquito. They also occasionally eat sap, honeydew and the rotting flesh of fruit. They lay their eggs inside a nest which contains the eggs of other mosquito species. When the mosquito hawk eggs hatch, the larvae eats the eggs of the other mosquito species.
