| I spotted three long-legged insects this week. They all big enough to get noticed a lot, and two of them are frequently misidentified. The crane fly pictured here, for instance, is often mistaken for a giant mosquito. It's not. It's harmless. |
 |
| The long-legged creature posing on the fading coneflower is an arachnid in the scientific order Opiliones. |
 |
| It ia not a giant spider. It ia not venomous. Good news, right? |
 |
| And last a well-known, well-liked, and never mistaken praying mantis looking leggy. |
