I found this bug on the wall of our hunting cabin in Wellsboro, PA….looks kind of like a Snakefly, but wondered if y’all could ID it for me.

Dear Ginette,
This magnificent creature is a Giant Eastern Crane Fly, Pedicia albivitta. According to BugGuide: “two distinct flight periods: usually May/June and September/October” so this sighting is right on time.
