The Living Forest (51) : Crane fly (female)
The slender, long-legged Crane fly does not bite humans, as is often thought, because it feeds on nectar.
Once they become adults, most male crane fly species live only to mate and die.
Dutch name : Koollangpootmug
German name : Kohlschnake
Latin name : Tipula oleracea
