User's notes

I first reported this large crane fly on 24-01-23, suggesting it might be a Geranomyia sp., but I'm not sure of that as a possible ID. This time, the crane fly was initially hanging from a branch, and then sitting on the branch about 30 min later. It appears to be missing a leg.

Thanks, Roger, for solving the mystery for me! I never would have figured it out.
