Cranefly

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, April 1, 2023
We have had a lot of rain this week, so I haven't been outside very much, but I found this Cranefly on the edge of the carport roof. Craneflies look like large mosquitos, but they are not mosquitos. They are completely harmless and live only 10 to 15 days.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am linking in today with Saturday's Critters

    They are so neat. When I would fly fish in NC, I loved the flies shaped like this! The always caught trout!

    It’s all legs! Glad it doesn’t bite.
