Field Notes
Description:
Mosquito sized, green body, clear wings, black dorsal and pectoral bands. Front set of legs longer than the other two pairs
Habitat:
under lights at night
Notes:
It seemed to be a Crane Fly but the legs are too short for the Crane flies so far found among the references. Green Midge is an identification from the Northern Hemisphere but the images could not be more closely alike
