crane fly - Megistocera longipennis - Female
Lafayette, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, USA
September 12, 2010
Size: about 3cm
Was only able to get this dorsal view from the inside, as it was on the front door glass. When i gently opened the door to get a ventral view, it flew off, despite being there for over an hour in the AM.... The right haltare looks damaged...any ideas about that?
Any help on a more detailed ident?
Thanks,
b
