Giant Eastern Crane Fly
by: Moni

Christopher
Your photo is of a crane fly, family Tipulidae. From the pattern on the wings it looks like you have a giant eastern crane fly. And from the tapered pointed tip of the abdomen it is a female.
The larvae are aquatic. The adults may be found on nearby vegetation and may be attracted to artificial light.
The larva are predaceous on small aquatic insects.
