Wingless Snow Cranefly, 2:43pm - Chionea
Elk Island NP, Alberta, Canada
January 17, 2008
I have been searching for these at least 2 or 3 times, as soon as I go to somewhere where I am not actually looking for them, one turns up. Didn't imagine it could be so tiny.
Unless you see them alive you don't know much about them (ie.e: how they walk, size etc.) and a pinned specimen doesn't quite do it.
