Orange-Marked Cranefly
Ptychoptera contaminata
Adults are found around wet woodland, springs, ditches, and slow streams, often resting on nearby vegetation. They fly with a light, fluttering flight while searching for mates and suitable places to lay eggs. Adults take small amounts of nectar or moisture, and their long legs are easily shed if seized by a predator.
