Pip: You can't really tell the sex of crane flies when they are larvae, you have to wait until they are adults. It looks to me like a male crane fly will usually have bulging claspers at the end of his abdomen, while the females have abdomens that taper to a point.

Aw, shucks (blushes). Who’d have thought I’d get such good reviews by talking about bug digestion?

I’m quite tired and have much more to say, but let me start with this and come back to the rest later.

I. Am. Not. Worthy.

Fascinating article, Tim. This could be in a magazine or textbook. Very informative and interesting. I’m always interested in the complexity of these little guys.
