Insect with Black/White/Clear Wings - Tipula trivittata Lake County, Illinois, USA May 29, 2009 Size: Body Length approx 3/4"
This insect stayed on this leaf for quite some time. The wings were black/white/clear, not brownish as this photo shows. The added downview shows the true colors much better. I was wondering what it is and if the "frass" around his mouth is food or part of his anatomy. Do you know what it is?
