It's been rainy here for the past few days, but yesterday the drizzle let up for a while and I went for a walk. I was chasing what I thought was a cranefly that was flitting from plant to plant across a field of wet knee-high vegetation. It turned out not to be a cranefly at all, but this hangingfly (Bittacus), a scorpionfly relative that hangs under leaves and catches prey with its hind feet.
