I think this is a mosquito hawk? Anyone know for certain? It's body is less than an inch long.
Thanks!
Deb

It looks like a Nephrotoma, a Crane Fly, which I have too and they are near impossible to ID!

Wallaby: Thanks. I looked at your link and did a google search and that certainly seems to be it. Interesting, the 'wikipedia' entry says they are sometimes caled 'mosquito hawks', which is a regional thing apparently, and a misnomer. :)
Appreciate your answering my question!!
