I=92m not sure what 'orange crane fly' is, but recall years ago = deciding that ours was one of two European species that have colonized Cana= da and part of USA, and I think I settled on Tipula paludosa (common Europe= an crane fly), but which is very similar to the other alien T. oleracea (ma= rsh crane fly). Go to the useful (with pics) Crane Flies of Pennsylvania c= atalogue http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/ and near the end under Tipula check out these two species for the picture o= f their distinguishing feature (the separation of the compound eyes seen fr= om underneath), mentioned by Stephen Luk; you may need a hand magnifier len= s. I=92d be interested to learn if it checks out.
