Crane flies mating in swamp horsetails. The act is long and uneventful.

An impressive crane fly from this morning.

Giant crane fly (Tipula abdominalis). If you include the legs it was approximately 5 inches in length, so definitely a fly of unusual size (FOUS). I've cropped the image to show how pretty the thorax is. #diptera #cranefly #flies #entomology #tipula #tipulidae #insects #nature

Sometimes I swear creatures understand us even if they can't speak or understand our language.
I was working in my studio when I saw a cranefly. I kept working but started talking to them about how it's a shame they became trapped inside and I should find a way to get them back outside where they'd be happy. As soon as I finished what I was doing they flew to me, landing on my shirt, and we went outside where they could fly free. #cranefly #creature #nature #life
