Crane Fly (Ptilogyna sp) (1/3)

Diptera: Tipulidae

Ptilogyna sp  

I was paddling along the upper reaches of the Yarra River looking for dragonflies when I came across this beautiful Crane Fly.

A young lady I had spoken to a little earlier, just a few hundred metres away, had complained about the huge mosquitos around here. I suspect she had seen Crane Flies.
