European Cranefly? - Female
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
April 13, 2007
Size: approx 35mm
I wasn't sure if this was a European Crane Fly, it seemed larger than the usual ones I see. It was the right color, except it seemed to have "racing stripes" on the side of the thorax, like the Western Giant Crane Fly. My first impression was of a mix between the two...
Found at the porchlight at night.
