This is a giant bug.
A really big bug. On the left there is the receptacle on our balcony, about 2″x3″.
And here she is next to a loonie.
The body is over an inch long. Almost an inch and a half.
It looks even bigger with the wings unfolded.
It has beady little eyes.
It can fly, but not very well.
We got a look at it’s underside when it landed on the screen, but that didn’t help us identify it.
Is it a monster mosquito waiting to suck all our blood?
Is it a crane fly? https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly#/media/File%3ATipulidae_April_2008-2.jpg
Yeah that’s probably it.
