Limoniid Crane Fly - Neocladura delicatula - female

Limoniid Crane Fly - Neocladura delicatula - Female
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
September 29, 2006
After a while she opened her wings and sat with them spread wide. My theory was that she was basking in the mercury vapor heat; it was a pretty cold night.

If I'm not mistaken this is a member of Limoniidae; ID comments appreciated.
