Looks like a crane to me also. I'd gotten a shot of one's exoskeleton last year, but that's it. One did buzz by me in the yard last week, so looks like we'll have a good year for them. I agree with Linda, after learning more about them I won't be swatting any of them either. Amazing insects. Great shot of this guy.

It certainly is a crane fly, but what is baffling me is that its rather early for one of these to be out and about. We normally get these in August/September! I managed to get a couple last year but not very good pics, and I have to admit that they are one of those insects that you would normally swat with a newspaper because they irritate you flitting around the house, but after studying the photos I took I wont do that again, their little bodies are incredibly complex and intrigueing. Great shot by the way lol.

Good heavens! What an amazing looking insect. I'll dig around later to see what I can make of it. Great shot. John
