Cue Mission Impossible Theme Music: Identify The Crane Fly By The Wing Veins
This one's for Geoff |
"Crane flies are found worldwide, though individual species usually have limited ranges. They are most diverse in the tropics, and are also common in northern latitudes and high elevations.[4]
The Tipulidae is one of the largest groups of flies, including over 15,000 species and subspecies in 525 genera and subgenera.[5] Most crane flies were described by the entomologist Charles Paul Alexander, a fly specialist, in over 1000 research publications"
I'm told that the identification is often dependent upon wing veins. One of the club members lives where it rains, a lot. I'm giving I'm this shot to help him keep busy on the rainy days.
