Another crane fly photographed today, 5-28-05 near Chicago. Really striking wing markings - these critters are suddenly all over the place. Relatively small for crane flies - about 15-20 mm.

Has nobody ever seen anything like this?

Similar, yet different: Epiphragma ocellaris.

As Paul already noted, it's quite similar, but different :) It's genus Epiphragma, but I can't tell the species...

Thank you, gentlemen. I'm always happy to get a genus!
