Limonia humidicola is a species of limoniid crane fly in the family Limoniidae.[1][2][3] It can be found in Southern Canada , across the United States , and into Central America,[4][5][6][7] commonly in shady, wet areas along streams.[5]
Description
Adult flies are medium to small for crane flies, with a body typically 7-8mm in length.[5] The body is mostly dark brown, though the abdomen exhibits alternating dark brown and tannish-yellow striping.[8] Between the mesonotal prescutum and the scutum there is a V-shaped suture distinctive to all Limoniinae. Wings show pale brown clouds in basal cells, along with a number of darkened patches, including three notably visible patches near the tip of the wing.[9] Legs are brown with pale yellow joints.
