Visitor to Bathroom Mirror - Limonia immatura
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
May 17, 2007
Size: 17 mm to rear of wings
Genus Limona? Subgenus Metalimnobia seems close, or possibly Discobola. The closest image I could find was one of Limona immatura. ID help appreciated.

Right on!
It is Limonia (Metalimnobia) immatura. The three brown bands on their legs give away. Limonia cinctpes has only two bands on each leg. Otherwise, they look extremely alike. Nice shots - Chen

Thanks Chen! I still find Crane Flies a real challenge.

You are welcome
and just one species a time. I spent the last 34 years after them and still there are lots to learn ahead of me. - Chen
