Summary[edit] Description: Tipula metacomet. Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC, USA. No kidding, these are gigantic. It looks like this is a mate guarding situation. The lower individual is the male. His middle legs are loosely wrapped around the female. Not sure if he is waiting for her to become receptive or if he already had a go and is guarding his investment. Date: 3 September 2016, 12:05.
