Does anyone know the species name of this bug?
It's on the wall of my room being menacing, it looks like a mosquito but it's much bigger.

Crane fly aka Mosquito hawk aka Mosquito Eater aka (in some weird places) Daddy Long Legs.
We call them daddy longlegs here in bongland. It confused me when I encountered americans calling some kind of spider a daddy long legs.
Crane fly. Not a mosquito.
I've always heard them called "skeeter eaters" where I grew up, the implication being that they eat mosquitos. whether or not that's actually true I have no idea.

Suicidal morono
it's like a flying spider, I hate them, I hate how goddamn gross they are flying about with their spindly legs tailing after them. I can't stand lanky bugs in general.
Is this same species?
It is, the wings are just folded which obscures its abdomen.
No. It's a crane fly still, but it's a different species of crane fly.
This one is of the Nephrotoma genus and the first one you posted is of the Tipula genus.
crane fly, i don't kill every one i see because i think they actually prey on smaller household insects plus they don't harm you
Crane fly. They can't hurt you, and they're not even interested in humans. Just smack 'em with something.

Rude
It's literally completely harmless anon, just catch it in something and release it outside.
>just catch it in something and release it outside.
This. Save the spiders and the bugs and the tiny lizards and shit.
Crane fly called meadow mosquito here. It doesn't do anything it's just ugly
They're crane flies. Harmless. Looks intimidating. Just a big fly. Doesn't drink blood.
>makes more mosquitos
kill it
Crane flies aren't mosquitoes you clown
This is the rare wiener-sucking mosquito.
Is it female? Asking for a friend
No, every single one of its species is gay for human wiener
How do people reach adulthood without ever learning what a crane fly is
I've always seen these but didn't know the species name, I'm just curious.

Growing up in a concrete jungle.
No untreated lawns, no craneflies.
On the contrary, I can bet you grew uo among pastures (cattle farmers don't give a frick about craneflies while their larvae, "leather jackets", are a crop pest).
Not that anon but I grew up in the suburbs of dayton, oh (middle of the rust belt) and I remember one year these guys swarming so bad that if you swung a bat through the air you'd hit an even dozen.
>Dayton oh
Hey I'm from Cincinnati. We should meet up and suck each other's wieners.
>the suburbs of dayton
From that I can see, that's peak Suburbia, and we can be glad most lawns in your neighbourhood weren't sprayed with insecticides in your childhood.
Only downtown Dayton may qualify as what I would call "concrete jungle" (still, Dayton seems to be a pretty green city).
Male mosquito, the small ones are the female ones
Isn't it the opposite?
