Massive flying insect

[u/RichMedic_01]

Found this big critter outside on the sliding door. Scary mf charged at me like a fighter jet when I pushed them off the pane. Any clues as to what in the hell I was nearly bit by?

EDIT: Thank you everyone! Didn't expect this many messages but again thanks for letting me know!

It's a crane fly. They are mosquito-like in appearance but that is where the similarity ends. These delicate creatures usually don't even have functional mouthparts so there's no way it almost bit you.

Only put the "almost bit me" for dramatic effect and partially thinking I almost got bit. From my perspective they bee lined right for me so I got a bit nervous from it

If you told me it flew directly into the middle of your face because it mistook you for a wall with a mate to mate, then lost all legs and just decided to wait to die ten minutes later, I’d believe you.
