what are they? I have a ton this year all over my yard. More this year than in other years. Friend or foe? thanks for your help
these guys look like giant mosquitoes
Most likely you're talking about Crane Flies.
They do not bite, the larva and adults of most species feed on decaying plant material and they are an important food source for birds so see them as Friends :)
hmmm. I have St Augustine grass and brown patch is something I usually fight by summer's end, except summer 2005, when our summer heat was desert-like, most unusual and grass was soaking the water just as quickly as it feel on the grass, no time for fungus to form.
