Crane Fly

I'm not a biologist, only a medical doctor, however even I can see the differences between this particular 'group' and the 'usual' cranefly: 1. This one's more sturdy; 2. Assumes a particular pose; 3. Head and body're different from the other, etc.

Could you please mind elaborating on this topic Dr Namgyal :-)

Dear Atul and other experts, this one (mine, and others' too) deserve a separate category - these aren't ordinary craneflies.

Thanks Chun ....Then ....a Crane Fly it is .:)

I found this type of insect the other day too.
Now I am confident to agree with auntnance that this is a Crane Fly.

Hi Atul, I have done a quick search in this Diptera Tree of Life and I could not find what family your spotting belongs too. http://www.inhs.illinois.edu/research/FL...
Hope you can keep this link, it's very helpful in identifying the types of fly spottings on Project Noah.

Great Pic!
