Tipula oleracea aka Common Crane fly or Marsh crane fly

This fly appears in almost all world.
They dont sting, and they are usually fragil and bad fliers.

Their place is outside, so if you find them at home, let them go, they wont do anything to you.

I'm always afraid of them... x_X ????? · 2009-10-14: 11:32
