Large Crane Flies
Tipulidae
Large crane flies are long-legged insects that look a bit like giant mosquitoes. They are harmless and often found near water, where they lay their eggs.
生息地: Wetlands
外見
The Large Crane Fly has a slender body and incredibly long, delicate legs, often twice its body length. They usually appear in shades of brown, grey, or yellow, lacking the scales of a mosquito. A distinctive V-shaped groove is visible on their back.
