Crane fly

I found this fellow on my own front door. I'm pretty sure this one is a native crane fly, not an invader, but I'm working on which one.

They look so much more scary than they really are :) Posted 9 years ago

  Don't they - about as big as my hand, with a big snout and nasty tail - but completely harmless, very fragile actually. I would guess this one was quite newly emerged, as it has all of it's legs and it's wings aren't raggedy. Posted 9 years ago

Hmmmmmm I have found on a Washington native crane fly site a really good match for this *but*... I cannot find any other information under the name they gave it at all - Tipula unincincta
female, (Doane) - also spelled Tipula unincinta on the same web page. There must be a synonym out there, but dratted if I can find it... Posted 8 years ago
