This is a nice detailed image of a Crane Fly.  They are harmless.

Found this in the hall of our apartment complex. Thought it was a wasp of some sort until closer inspection. Still not sure though. It&#8217;s about 3-5 inches long and flies like a mosquito with its legs down. Not graceful like a dragonfly.

These were found in an old acorn mortar in the Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles in February. They don&#8217;t move when touched.

These look like Leatherjackets or Leatherbacks, the larval form of the Crane Fly, a group of flies in the family Tipulidae.
