Thank you Jim E and JIm W for straightening that out. I am still =
surprised at how stiff the clacking wings are plus the size and colours. =
I did not know Crane Flies could be so beautiful.

On my way out the door later this morning I snapped this shot of the =
Craneflies still in their mating "U" -they will probably be in the same =
position when I get home. Nice wing pattern!

I will post this on BugGuide to see if it can be IDed further.

These halteres always mean a Dipteran, a fly, and are especially visible =
on large crane flies.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
