Crane Fly - Tipula paludosa

Crane Fly - Tipula paludosa
Vineland, Niagara Region, Southern Ontario, Ontario, Canada

Size: Large
Not sure if this is workable since I don't know what is diagnostic with Crane Flies. These looked different than the ones I see in Toronto. Their bodies were larger and they flew differently: reminiscent of some of the Therion Ichneumons. There were quite a few of them at the Winery I visited. Feel free to frass if the image doesn't help.
