This spring has been a banner one for insects, the marsh being no exception. Clouds of midges greet anyone who walks the trail; bumble bees visit anything that blooms; damselflies dart this way and that in the tall grasses. I saw this strange-looking bug, about 1-1/2 inches long, moving about some tall grasses yesterday. When in flight, its hind legs hang straight down. It finally stopped so I could get a shot. I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe it to be some kind of crane fly.
