Flying insect with a long body and spindly legs
Found hovering around a light
Thanks!
This is most likely a cranefly (family Tipulidae). They are certainly flying right now in your area and they do congregate at lights at dusk and night. See http://bugguide.net/node/view/183/bgimag... more more images.
