Crane fly haikus!

There's something about the leggy, gangly crane fly (Diptera: Tipulidae) that inspires the Japanese poetry art form, the haiku. North Carolina State Insect Museum's Andy Deans contributes whimsical haikus on this family of flies for the contest that closes with the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere.
