Ptychoptera contaminata female · uodas ♀
- orange-marked cranefly
- Glansmygga
https://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/ptychoptera-contaminata The abdomen is mainly black with a small amount of orange, the 'thighs' are also orange in colour. The clear wings have a number of darker dots and these are larger towards the centre of the wings. Larvae are aquatic, living in mud and litter in shallow water. They resemble long thin terrestrial 'leather jackets' with long breathing tube tails that extend to the surface of the water.
