Mating Phantom Crane Flies

Bittacomorpha clavipes (Fabricius, 1781). Found at Rocky Run Fishery Area in south central Wisconsin. Columbia County, Wisconsin, USA.

 

Saw several of these flying around at a spot along this trail on this day. This pair was kind enough to land on some foliage.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
