Spider Web Crane Fly

Family Tipulidae

Description:

this seems to be also the specimen known as Black Crane Fly

Habitat:

There were three of these sitting on two strands of a spider's web end to end like rail-cars on a train track. You can just see the strand in the picture. This is the best image because these flies gyrate and vibrate madly when bothered. This is the second group I have seen this week. This in the web of a Leaf-curling Spider and the others in the web of some other spider. Possibly Badumna
