Crane flies are insects in the family Tipulidae, resembling giant mosquitoes. Like the mosquito, they are in the order Diptera (flies). Adults are very slender, long-legged flies that may vary in length from 2 mm to 60 mm (tropical species may exceed 100mm).
Numerous other common names have been applied to the crane fly, many of them more or less regional, including, mosquito hawks, mosquito eaters (or skeeter eaters), gallonippers, galnatchers, and jimmy spinners. |

bonjour Gabriel,
superbe macro sur un insect pour lequel la profondeur de champ est difficile à maîtrisée à cause de ses grandes pattes. Belle lumière qui éclair en douceur, netteté parfaite.
