Sept. 3 & 4, 2011 - On both days at home in Wolfville I saw single  
flying adult big tan crane flies called European leatherjackets  
(latter often used for larval lawn "pest"), Tipula paludosa.  Stephen  
Marshall writes that introduced Eur. leatherjackets and related  
species "have recently become common pests of turf in northeastern  
North America".  He also says there are about 1500 species of crane  
flies in N. Am., and at least 15,000 worldwide.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
