https://mosquitojoe.com/blog/difference-between-crane-fly-and-mosquito-hawk/

"Unlike the name suggests, a mosquito hawk is not a single insect. Instead, it refers to a group of insects, including the crane fly, dragonflies, and damselflies. The term originally came from the idea that these larger insects feast on other types of mosquitoes. In reality, only dragonflies and damselflies are effective predators of mosquitoes."
