If you want to try and ID it, here is a good key that I found<br />http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/index.htm<br />Of course, keying out insects does require quite a bit of patience and a microscope or good hand lens. It also requires the actual insect, so if you only have the photos, you might be out of luck.Don't Bug Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02708604858395669253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-25313925447156500692010-06-28T05:25:55.230-05:002010-06-28T05:25:55.230-05:00I'm itching...this is a creepy critter...but t...I'm itching...this is a creepy critter...but the photo is so vivid and with great contrast.<br /><br /><a href="http://hootin--anni.blogspot.com/2010/06/so-its-root-root-root-for-home-team-bah.html" rel="nofollow">My macro ORANGE HIBISCUS</a>Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-89952542633519975792010-06-28T04:36:33.390-05:002010-06-28T04:36:33.390-05:00Oh my, I am so afraid of wasp that's why I nev...Oh my, I am so afraid of wasp that's why I never get too close to them, so that's how they look like.ALhttp://burntchickenrepublic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-23150513755707065432010-06-28T03:59:27.622-05:002010-06-28T03:59:27.622-05:00I would centainly not hate you.

I use the book Insects of the North Woods to help make my identifications but there are just so many different kind of insects that they can not have pictures of everything. This looked like the photo of the Thyreodon artricolor that was in the book but it does have smaller antenae and as you pointed out only one set of wings.Ecobirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162282777887777041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-29478870122204947092010-06-27T22:54:47.684-05:002010-06-27T22:54:47.684-05:00Would you hate me if I told you that this is not a...Would you hate me if I told you that this is not a wasp but a dipteran fly? Look behind the first pair of wings. Instead of a second pair of wings you can see a pair of little knob-like structures - the halteres. Only dipterans have these.Don't Bug Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02708604858395669253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-34688588438810176542010-06-27T22:54:40.661-05:002010-06-27T22:54:40.661-05:00Amazing macro!Amazing macro!Jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165901556595808031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-23720656717832137872010-06-27T22:27:52.511-05:002010-06-27T22:27:52.511-05:00Nice close-up images.Nice close-up images.Kalahttp://amatterofhowyouseeit.com/noreply@blogger.com
