Tiger crane flies are fascinating insects that often get mistaken for giant mosquitoes. They have slender bodies and long, delicate legs, making them easy to recognize in your garden or near your home.

These crane flies exhibit red, yellow, and black stripes, giving them the “tiger” aspect in their name.

Tiger Crane Flies share similarities with other crane flies – they are harmless to humans and do not bite. Their larval stage plays a crucial role in breaking down organic matter in their habitats, contributing to a healthy ecosystem.
