Mosquito Hawk

Field Notes
Description:
Large, dragonfly-sized flying insect. Light tawny/greenish tan colour, appears to have two or four clear thin wings. Very long, thin jointed legs, long antennas.
Habitat:
I found it near my swimming pool, perhaps shows a preference for water? Suburban area with lots of landscaping and nature areas.
Notes:
About the size of my palm, vaguely resembles a cross between a giant mosquito and a dragonfly. **General consensus agrees it is a large mosquito hawk**
