Why do I see crane fly adults at times different than what the Crane Fly Calendar shows?
Recently, there has been a new European crane fly discovered in the Pacific Northwest, known as the ‘common crane fly.’ We don’t know much about this crane fly yet, but it does not appear to be a serious pest. The new crane fly is very difficult to distinguish from the European crane fly without a microscope (for more info). However, their life cycle is a bit different.
