It looks like the back of a crane fly. I spotted one awhile ago! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/924... They are sometimes called Mosquito Hawks either because they feed on mosquitos or they resemble a large version of a mosquito. Thank god this guy isn't a mosquito, I probably would not walk outside without a bug net and completely dripping in bugspray. :)
