Crane Fly
On the night of June 1, 2021, I was spooked when I encountered a crane fly in my bathroom. It was my first time seeing one and it looked like a giant mosquito to me. I made sure to take a quick picture of it to upload to iNaturalist before removing it from my home. The scientific name for the crane fly I saw is Tipula furca. It is a member of Kingdom Animalia (Animals), Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods), Subphylum Hexapoda (Hexapods), Class Insecta (Insects), Subclass Pterygota (Winged and Once Winged Insects), Order Diptera (Flies), Suborder Nematocera (Nematoceran Flies), Infraorder Tipulomorpha (Crane Flies), Superfamily Tipuloidea (Typical Crane Flies), Family Tipulidae (Large Crane Flies), Subfamily Tipulinae, Genus Tipula, and Subgenus Yamatotipula. I honestly hope I never encounter one up close again because the experience was very frightening for me.
