Holorusia hespera
2+ inches long, I found this cranefly on my building at work. The book says Holorusia hespera is 1- 13/8 inches long. This specimen is over 2 inches. Note the photo next to my little finger(from the outside base 3"). So is it the giant western or some tropical species that was introduced?

Amazing! :O
Me too. I'm questioning the size which is roughly twice what I see listed in books and online.
Karen, it does look like the Giant Western Crane Fly to me. http://bugguide.net/node/view/40968
