Tipula Paludosa
a large crane fly, gray in color with a slightly greenish tint, long fragile legs, and short antenna. and, as most crane flies do, it flew with a kind of clumsiness, bumping into everything.
found on my porch at night, near the porch light, weather cool, skies clear.
Yes, a crane fly, but frightening children everywhere by appearing as a mosquito big enough to drink all your blood!
