| | | What's this crane fly upto?
So I was at the computer and a cranefly (not the daddy long legs kind, a smaller one) landed on top of my fish tank and started sort of sniffing about on the metal hood. If anything I can describe it as a dog following a scent trail. It spent a good 5 minutes or so doing this before flying off. Was it indeed following a scent trail or maybe looking for moisture. I took a short vid on my phone of it that I could upload if that would help. |

By 'small cranefly', I wonder if it could be one of the Mosquitoes. |

It might have been trying to get in to lay it's eggs.
