Snake Fly

Lake Tahoe, Nevada, CA

Apparently it can raise its neck and tilt its head separately,
kind of like a giraffe - or, I guess a snake. :)
(Raphidioptera)

Great shot of this unusual (to me) fly.

That's really an odd-ball. Good find.

Strange little creature, you had your eyes open Laura!

I've seen these things. Pretty wild looking bug. They look a little like a green lace wing bug although I don't think their neck is as long

I've seen those. They are creepy

Interesting, well-caught shot, Laura. There's such an amazing variety of flies.
