Crane Fly looks like mosquito, only larger, smells like mosquito, but isn't

This insect is not a mosquito, but actually a fly (crane fly). In fact, they are also called mosquito eaters... but the truth is that these insects do not eat mosquitoes. As annoying as they are when they lay close to your front door only waiting for you to open it and enter into your home, they are harmless since they do not bite humans or any other mammals either, they eat nectar out of flowers.
