My teen and I were hiking out on the Wiley Trails this morning, looking for black raspberries, when I spotted something drifting along on the breeze. At first I thought it might be a fluffy seed pod, but it alighted on a leaf and I saw that it was actually two Eastern phantom crane flies (๐๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ข๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ข ๐ค๐ญ๐ข๐ท๐ช๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ด) mating!
Even once I realized what they were, they still seemed otherworldly, with the way they don't so much fly as drift along on the air currents like some kind of many-tentacled undersea critter.

Found some ferruginous tiger crane flies engaged in their nuptials in the small haven that is my garden. First time I've spotted them here. Hope they hang around.
A Limoniid Crane Fly (family Limoniidae) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 24 Nov 2024. A large fly with even longer legs.
