Crane Fly - Limonia communis - Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia, USA August 26, 2010 Size: ~12 mm
This crane fly was feeding on garlic blossoms in a garden at dusk. Identified to Tipulomorpha via BugGuide images and comments. I think I count 14 antennae segments, which I believe places it in Limoniidae. Also, I think the lateral view shows a short ovipositor.
