  1. 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

  6. There are monsters around! With my luck re pests in my plant nursery this year (still fighting the fungus gnats infestation with SP nematodes, sea algae soaks, fans, UV "mosquito lamp" and lots and lots of sticky tape) this #CraneFly is most likely one of the #Tipulidae that are considered pests in Europe (is it Tipula paludosa?) as their larvae attack seedling roots and stems. Which is exactly what fungus gnat larvae were doing already so... [insert random profanities].

    About photos, pardon the odd colours as this crane fly thought to rest under my full-spectrum LEDs on a chili plant and it's being illuminated by, well, all colours of the rainbow really.

  11. There were still a few flowering goldenrod plants in the area, and as dusk fell they were swarmed with hyperactive little crane flies, many mating. I'm surprised *any* of my photos came anywhere close to turning out.

  12. #FlyDay: These gorgeous big crane flies (family Tipulidae) were out in force down by the lake last week, hanging out on tree trunks! Check out the brilliant green eyes.

  13. A crane fly in the reeds (there's a book title for you!).

    Does anybody know yet what (or if) adult crane flies eat? Their elaborate mouthparts are fascinating. Is this fly watching/sniffing for mates or food? Or just enjoying the sunshine and rippling water?

  14. A large, graceful crane fly, with a bonus ant.

    I have trouble taking pictures of crane flies: they don't sit still for very long, they're easily spooked, and they hang out in dim , shady places. This one was pretty cooperative, but I still didn't get any particularly good pictures before I scared it away.

    I was impressed by how sleek and silky it is. I don't think I've seen one like this before. So far, I haven't identified it.

  16. Take a trip through the #fly #collection at the #Natural #History #Museum #London with #Erica #McAlister (Senior #Curator, #Flies and #Fleas).

    “There are more species of fly within the #United #Kingdom than there are mammal species on the whole planet. A single family of flies—the #craneflies ( #Tipulidae)—includes more described species than all #mammals and #birds combined.”

  17. Seit gestern sitzen bei uns drei #Schnaken in der Küche. Die Kinder haben sie Rotzi, Motzi und Kotzi benannt. Schnaken sind harmlos ☮️ und können nicht stechen. Sie sind Nahrung für viele andere Tiere 🐦🕷️🦇🐸. #Tipulidae #Insekten

  21. If you happen to find a snow fly (Chionea sp.) this winter there's a research team at the University of Washington that would very much like to receive it, ideally alive. The project website also has a great primer on the genus. #Diptera #Tipulidae #SnowFly #entomology

  23. Bei maximaler Vergrößerung der Kamera schimmern die Facettenaugen der #Schnake grün 💚. Schnaken ( #Tipulidae ) gibt es seit mindestens 130 Mio. Jahren 🦖 auf der Erde (Bernsteinfossilien aus der Kreidezeit), gestochen haben sie aber bisher noch niemanden.
