Phantom crane fly with click beetle
(The flight of a phantom crane fly is very gentle: Notice
the shortness of its wings relative to the extreme length
of its legs. In flight this fly holds its legs out in a
vertical plane. In dim light, all that is visible are the
bright white bands on those legs. This produces
an effect like an eerie constellation of stars
drifting through the shade.)
