Texto do ramo da Biologia e afins que discute espécies de insetos e aranhas. Inglês para pt-BR. Contexto completo abaixo:
"Crane flies, also known as daddy long legs, are harmless and play an important role in the food chain."
Penso em deixar no original mesmo, mas n sei se alguém conhece alguma tradução em português BR desse termo. Ou talvez pôr uma tradução literal em português entre parênteses...

típula
É uma espécie de mosquito. Any of numerous long-legged slender two winged flies (family Fipulidae) that resemble large mosquitoes, but do not bite, that produce larvae which usually live in the ground or sometimes in water, and that are destructive to the roots of native and cereal grasses.

: O Sr. Martins tem razão, esta é a tradução de crane fly, mas não de daddy long legs. É preciso colocar aqui o nome popular do inseto.

: Como o texto diz que é um tipo de mosquito, é a melhor opção. Mas na verdade o daddy longleggs é um tipo de aranha, não de mosquito

pernilongo gigante

One of the most significant differences between a mosquito and a crane fly is that a crane fly does not bite or sting you.
https://www.nsctotal.com.br/noticias/pernilongo-gigante
Embora leve a alcunha de “pernilongo gigante” (...) não se alimenta de sangue. Logo, não representa qualquer risco para a saúde humana, já que não atua como transmissor de doenças, tal qual outros mosquitos, como o Aedes.

Reference:
inseto "Daddy Long Legs"
Daddy long legs
The phrase 'daddy long legs' illustrates one of the biggest problems in biology. That is, people in different parts of the world use the same name to refer to more than one species or even groups of species.
In the case of 'daddy long legs' this name is used to refer to one of three different invertebrates:
A true fly belonging to the family Tipulidae. These flies are also sometimes called Crane flies.
A type of arachnid related to spiders known as an Opilione or sometimes as a harvestman.
A species of spider called Pholcus phalangioides which is found in cellars, basements and dark corners of houses. It's also called the Daddy Long Legs spider or Cellar spider. Interestingly this spider is also a subject of an urban myth that says it has the strongest venom of any spider in the world but that its fangs are too small to penetrate the skin of a human. This is a myth, the venom is relatively weak... and they can pierce the skin (just).
Entomologists and other scientists remove this ambiguity by using the scientific name for an organism. This name is the same across the world so scientists can be sure they are talking about the same species.

Entomologia não é mesmo nada a minha área, mas qo que li, mantinha o nome em inglês.

Discussion
cranefly - any dipterous fly of the family Tipulidae, having long legs, slender wings, and a narrow body
Also called (Brit): daddy-longlegs
In the US they are called "skeeter-eaters" :-)
Crane fly larvae are cylindrical, and look like worms, growing up to 4 cm long. They are often called "leatherjackets", due to their tough skin.
Creio/espero q seja essa uma boa opção neste caso, para disambiguate, né...? Enfim, os espinhos da tradução, não é mesmo!
