Crane Fly

And me too Monica!!! Thanks.

That's a fly? Wow, at first glance I thought it was a weird looking spider, that is until I read your caption! He's quite different from any flies I've ever seen! Thanks Rob!

This is a pretty looking crane fly. The ones we have here look like giant mosquitos.

It's definitely an odd-bod Gene - thanks.
No idea warbler - but so much on nature is like that - colourful!!

I wonder what environment the black and white would be providing camoflage for. Nice find, Rob.

this is a new one for me.....so strange...thanks rob for posting

LOL! Thanks tex :))

Very cool! I love your description and I'm going to use it, "odd bod", to refer to the way gravity has taken over in some places! Thanks, RR.

Thanks pg.

What a wonderful creature he is. Great one Rob.

Yes!! It's sure a strange one chickie! Thanks.

Don't you wonder how this thing can fly with all those long legs dangling and such tiny wings?

And he has a long abdomen like a Dragonfly!! He's certainly an odd-bod!

At first thought it looked like a dragonfly that some kid might have played around with by adding some extra things to it's legs (beads maybe) but I'm sure that you'll tell me that it looks like nature intended, just plain weird!!!

What a strange looking fly - more like a 'daddy long-legs'!!!
