According to a paper by BA Foote, Kent State University, published in Frederick W Stehrs "Immature Insects", it is estimated that there are more than 14,000 known species of crane flies. (about 1,500 in the U.S, and more than 300 species in Sweden) Crane fly also appears to be one of our most geographically widespread insect groups, which have successfully adapted to life in many completely different biotope niches, allowing the larvae and pupae significant difference in appearance and way of life - so great that starting from their appearance can hardly see that the various species belonging to the same large insect group - even if the adults, winged insects are similar too eachother. Different species of larvae occurs in such diverse environments as rotten wood, damp moss, small puddles of water, soil and sand - from moist river and lake shores to agricultural soils and lawns over to pure desert environment. This is information was written by Gunnar Johnson in a swedish article for a fly fishing magazine. So Faredin, if you start to study the crane fly, you will have some work ahead of you :)
