Craneflies looks like large mosquitoes but they are not mosquitoes
Look at those very long and thin forelegs
We were invited to spend a lovely afternoon at the lovely mansion and farm of a very close family friend at the Tagaytay Highlands. As we were chatting and enjoying the beauty of the newly renovated mansion, my eyes caught a glimpse of a large mosquito-like organism on the wall of the lanai. A lonely cranefly got its way inside the mansion, its huge size, long legs, large wings and dark hue cannot hide itself from the light colored wall.
CRANEFLIES (DIPTERA: Tipulidae)
Awesome creature! Awesome CREATOR!
