This big crane fly was outside my door flying around when I was coming into my apartment. I think the wall he’s on is cooler than others might be since it’s in a shady spot, given why he chose it. The crane fly wasn’t very active and flew around only when disturbed by movement but otherwise stayed still on its perch.
About 0.5 inches long, flying around in garden.
seen at cerritos college under a plant leaf, mid afternoon, on a sunny day
Seen in the morning on a cloudy day in Downey, on the wall by the mailboxes of an apartment complex.
(Small insect seen on the bottom of the blue table) This insect was seen running across the table I was sitting and trying to avoid attention. Ended up escaping underneath the table. Not super confident with the classification
