So suddenly there's a new species we've never had to deal with in the states?
Mutants from the oil & corexit sprayed during the Deepwater Horizon spill???

Nothing new really, these have been in Michigan for years. Just carry a ball bat around with you.
ex]Adult crane flies feed on nectar or they do not feed at all. Once they become adults, most crane fly species exist as adults only to mate and die.

If you are in Michigan,as I do, what you have seen is the Crane Fly.
Some of then get huge.
We always called them "Mosquitoe Eaters" but they don't really eat the 'skeeters.
You can see a good photo of them here:

Did the dig found them. Never looked before I spoke, as I live in the woods
and have not seen these little monsters.
My mistake.
Thank you for the lesson.
