Thanks Peter,
Based on my fleeting look while going for a vial it could be
either. I thought the legs were sturdier and shorter than the Crane Fly
images but I can not be sure.

Possible, provided Winter Crane flies park wings flat over

A vented 6" concrete drain, which runs down one side of
the lot, discharges some water except in deep winter.
Consequently in season I see a fair assortment of aquatic
insects in the yard; e.g. Damsel flies & Dragon flies.<br>

I do not have time to collect these days but save what I
