Cranefly
After an evening’s walk a couple of months ago, my camera was out of juice when this cranefly buzzed across right in front of me and then landed in the scrub next to the path. My camera turned on, complaining loudly of nearly dead batteries, especially when I told it wanted to use the flash, but after half a minute I got one solitary picture before the camera folded back up and refused to play anymore.
If you look closely at the larger image, you can just make out one of the halteres, or poisers, behind its wing.
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.
