What species of insect is this? *PICS*

[Descartes]

What do you think this is ? I know it looks like a mosquito, but I'm not certain it actually is one. The position of the legs don't look like that of any mosquito I have seen, and I can't see its proboscis blood-sucking thing.

What do you think?

Mosquito eater? I had actually found that while trying to find out for myself, but I can't seem to find any information on it.
