Family: Tipulidae
Date: 7.13.15
Observation:
I photographed this Crane Fly while I was walking around the yard a coupled of days ago. Alice and I were able narrow it down to being a Crane Fly. My best guess is that it is a type of Tiger Crane fly.
A Fact or two:
Crane flies occur worldwide, and there are more than 15,000 different species and subspecies. Most species inhabit a fairly small geographical range. These flies are sometimes referred to as "daddy long legs."
