Tipulidae
Very large (aprox 3.5" from end of leg to opposite end of leg) quite sluggish in the cool morning air, he was found at 8:32 a.m. just as the morning cloud cover was beginning to burn off. He let me get quite close to take this picture.
South Beach Campground. On the edge of a field with high human traffic and sparse lodgepole pine trees.

Welcome to Project Noah, Tommitc
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
