Wow, that's a beauty! Wish it was around here, and I'm not THAT far, but all those I've seen have been brown, and I've seen a LOT.
Carol Snow Milne
thanks again! One of my favorite finds. Oh, I guess they are all my favorites.

Great colors... I've seen lots of crane flies (which are awesome), but they've been much more brownish/grayish. Anyway, really cool!
Carol Snow Milne
Thanks and I found some more photos to add to it. And edited one to get a close-up of the wings and abdomen.

Michelle, Thanks so much for the correct ID. I don't know why I couldn't find it.
