Tipula
Common Crane Flies are long-legged insects that look a bit like giant mosquitoes! They are harmless and often found in gardens and fields, dancing in the air during warm days.
生息地: Grasslands
外見
The Common Crane Fly has a slender, greyish-brown body with incredibly long, delicate legs. Its transparent, often iridescent wings are noticeably veined, extending past its body. It is often mistaken for a giant mosquito, but lacks a biting proboscis.
