Description: Flying insect with long legs found near a stream. I think these are often known as "daddy - long - legs" Close up pictures taken of a dead crane fly in my kitchen. I would like to congratulate iSpot on a wonderful facility which has encouraged me to look closer at nature, and to see the wonderful diversity. The site has also offered very good advice on Identification and the extra discussions on wider topics relating to the identification have been very informative. I have appreciated all the assistance I have been given in learning how to identify my observations.
