While not being an entomologist, I pride myself in being able to know few species of insects and things like that. Until I met this insect. It looks and flies like a Mosquito but it's much larger with outrageously long legs. With this size, this one should never be a blood sucking insect.
It flew into where I was relaxing and fortunately, I had a camera with me. But the place being dark for a steady hand held shot without compromising camera shake, (my hands being not that particularly steady due to age), I had to use a flash lighting not so suitable. The built in flash was all I got on me.

Can anyone tell what the name of this insect is?
