Great Pictures!
Hi flyfishing622,
I really enjoyed your cranefly larvae pictures- especially the close up of the fleshy appendage! I was reading about the cranefly this morning and learned that there are different species of cranefly that can live in standing-water habitats, and some even live in intertidal/ brackish water. Macroinvertebrates are so cool!
