Bittacomorpha clavipes (Phantom Crane Fly). | This is a crane fly (not a mosquito). It landed prominently on my window and I rushed out to take this picture.
It's most likely a phantom crane fly (Bittacomorpha clavipes) since it has these black and white banded legs. They usually live in swampy areas as their larvae are aquatic. bug guide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/12422 Carnegie Museum: http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/ptychopteridae.htm#1 |
