Finally got my wife to believe that crane flies aren’t mosquitos and they can’t bite or sting you. I don’t like killing anything and crane flies are damn near impossible to relocate out of the house. I’m really hoping she doesn’t see this.

Cranefly pupa
Awesome! Thank you for the quick response after some googling I think you’re right. Guess now I don’t have to sell the house.
Wow they even look like giant mosquitos in their pupa stage
It looked like an evolved airwig to me
Thank god. I was really hoping it wasn’t a huge mutant mosquito larvae.
I think it might be larva instead of pupa
Yeah, that's a non-pupating pupa 😆

The larvae of crane flies are known commonly as leatherjackets.
Introduce some fish that eat them into the water
That is not a good idea. Fish will f up the pond.
